The story follows the development of Dublin as experienced by the people who lived there. Events ranging from the 4th or 5th century through the 15th or 16th century. The CD should whet your appatite for the unabridged written version. It is a very long book but is much more brilliant given the continuity not found in the CD version.
This is not really a review. The cd cases were broken, when I received it. I've replaced them. The outside cover is still with them.
