“The purpose of a good novel is to encourage the reader to
suspend disbelief ... with historical fiction it is also necessary to transport
the reader back in time so they taste, see, smell, hear and taste the era in
which the story takes place. Right from
the opening paragraph, ‘The Angel’s Lamp’ takes us to the horrors of the
execution yard during Ireland’s troubles as seen through the eyes of a
Irish-born, British soldier, Johnny Flynn.
Ashby Jones has written a powerful story that often sees both sides of
‘the Cause’ and will appeal to all those who have a passion for Irish history
with a touch of doomed romance.”
Suzanne Ruthven
