Summary: Impressive
Comment: It is no accident that Michael C. White's "The Garden of Martyrs" has received unqualified praise from the likes of Anita Shreve, Richard Russo, and A. Manette Ansay. This rich, compassionate, deeply moving novel will no doubt have an impact on American literature for years to come. As this novel amply illustrates, a talented writer can remind us that acts of courage and heroism can take many forms, and can reveal themselves in unlikely and surprising places. Michael White unpacks the crevices and narrow alleyways of "hidden" history, bringing it to life, suggesting how seemingly inconsequential and daily acts of courage and heroism can resonate throughout society and impact history. One will walk away from this novel emotionally drained, but inspired.

Summary: I felt I lived it myself
Comment: Don't miss this book. You'll never forget it. The Garden of Martyrs is one of the best novels I have read, ever. White attends to every detail of the story with such artistic care that the physical, emotional, spiritual and communal forces at work step right off the page, along with the human actors and the physical settings--so strongly that I felt I was a witness to all the events, as a family member or close friend might have been; and by the end of the book, the story in that way, belonged to me as well, as a life experince in which I shared.If history is to be taught, it should be taught this way, a way in which way we can live it too; then we might not have to repeat its lessons. The Garden of Martyrs is a tour de force, and obviously a work of love.

Summary: A great book!
Comment: Just finished this book for my bookclub. I loved it! I would highly recommend it as a suggested bookclub read. I was immersed in the historical setting and found the characters moving and compelling. Although set in 1806, it is highly relevant to today's issues related to our judicial system and the insanity of a country, such as ours,in it's continued use of the death penalty. Anyone with Irish heritage, Catholic hertiage, an interest in history or simply a desire to be moved by a wonderful novel should read this book.
