Why read it?
1 author picked The Marching Season as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book moved me at a time when the Irish question was still an open sore. It has a great but simple plot centered around the peace process in Northern Ireland.
Ex CIA agent, Osbourne is involved after his father-in-law is sent to the UK as Ambassador. With three atrocities carried out by protestants and a plot to assassinate the ambassador, the clock starts ticking. Osbourne faces his old enemy, Russian KGB killer October.
It is obvious that de Silva did a lot of research on the Irish situation, and I found the story very exciting as well as thought-provoking.
