Uisneach: The Third Sorrow (The Three Sorrows)

Description

When the Sons of Uisneach meet their fate in defense of Deirdre of the Sorrows, who gets to control the narrative of how and why things played out the way they did? Is it perhaps a factual telling the way they would have recounted it, if asked? Or is it a fanciful retelling by a narcissistic King bent on creating a legacy that masked the evil within his heart? Or is it a religious zealot trying to reshape Ireland’s history into the image of a blossoming religious movement? Whichever story we choose to believe it is important to remember that the victims here are three young men. Men with their own dreams and loves, thoughts and hopes. None of them chose their destiny and they tried their best to live their lives until one by one, destiny chose them. Uisneach is the last of the Three Sorrows of Irish Storytelling and one that plays out against a backdrop of a unifying Ireland that was on the verge of centralizing its power in the Hill of Tara. —- ISBN: 9798322111825
