Leon Uris's two-book literary fiction series follows the sweeping history of Ireland and its people across generations. Trinity, published in 1976, introduces the epic narrative, while Redemption continues the story nearly two decades later in 1995. The series should be read in publication order, beginning with Trinity, as Redemption builds directly on the events and characters established in the first novel.
