An historical novel like none before it, A Star Called Henry has marked a new chapter in Booker Prize-winner Roddy Doyle's writing. A subversive look behind the legends of Irish republicanism, at its centre a passionate and unforgettable love story, this novel is a triumphant work of fiction. Born in the slums of Dublin in 1902, his father a one-legged whorehouse bouncer and settler of scores, Henry Smart has to grow up fast. By the time he can walk he's out robbing, begging, charming, often cold, always hungry, but a prince of the streets. At fourteen, already six foot two, Henry's in the General Post Office on Easter Monday 1916, a soldier in the Irish Citizen Army, fighting for freedom. A year later he's ready to die for Ireland again, a rebel, a Fenian, and, soon, a killer. With his father's wooden leg as his weapon, Henry becomes a republican legend - one of Michael Collins' boys, a cop killer, an assassin on a stolen bike, a lover.
A year after Henry Munroe's fatal heart attack, his doting parents, prudish wife, rebellious son, wayward brother, and former mistress all continue to grieve and grapple with their own lives.
A world divided and a world at war, those with power fight to restore balance and protect those in need without their knowing. Separated into five destructive elemental groups known as: Fulgor (Lightning); Incendiī (Fire); Aquāe (Water); Glacies (Ice), and Anima (Air), Mages are those born with the ability to wield a destructive element. They live amongst the Ungifted in secret, keeping them safe in elemental strongholds called ‘Arcēs.’ For beyond these havens, malevolent darkness repeatedly manifests, disrupting the natural world and shifting the balance of all things. The books follow the life of Charlize, the sixth Āetis. She comes from a chosen line of Mages – forbidden until the need arises. The only one able to wield every element, she must learn to lead her age. To prepare for her task, she undertakes a pilgrimage on her eighteenth birthday, accompanied by her proud father Charras and her childhood friend Christian – who knows nothing of his Mage heritage, although is bound to her somehow. She must visit each Mage clan on her journey, from the sequoia village of the Anima, to the electric caverns of the Fulgor, learning their ways and mastering their art. But with old prejudice and growing apathy, the feuds between clans and those of mixed blood, uniting them all will be about as easy as it sounds…
