Summary "Niamh" by Peter O'Leary is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to center around significant historical themes, intertwining battles, alliances, and cultural transitions in ancient Ireland. Key characters introduced in the opening include the notable figure Brian Boru and two young men, Tadhg and Amhlaoibh, whose paths intertwine within the broader narrative of conflict and faith. At the start of the novel, we are immersed in a dramatic historical setting where Brian Boru is rallying against the Norse invaders who have laid siege to the city of Limerick. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Brian's strategic movements, the impact of the invasions on the local populace, and the resurgence of monastic life on the island of Inis Cathaigh, where Brian reinforces Christian values and community amidst the chaos. The characters' personal journeys, particularly Tadhg and Amhlaoibh, are foreshadowed, hinting at their development within this turbulent backdrop, as they seek knowledge and grapple with their identities amid the ongoing strife between the Irish and the Vikings.
