'Fantastic Book' - Pearse Doherty T.D.
"Unbroken by Michael and Mary is a powerful true story that follows a man imprisoned for a terrorism act and the unwavering love of his partner who remains steadfast through his betrayal and incarceration. Told from both their perspectives, the narrative beautifully captures the complexity of love enduring the harshest trials.
The ending left me breathless, evoking shivers of hope and resilience. I highly recommend Unbroken to anyone seeking a profound and uplifting read about love's strength against all odds."
Alanna
"An enthralling, propulsive narrative, which moves fluidly between shocking events and moments of tenderness, all punctuated by the authors' individual humor.
The dual narrative is incredibly effective, and in particular, I found the switch from past tense to present tense added to the urgency of Mary's narrative and the pensiveness of Michael's voice. This means the reader gets differing insights into their astounding story; the horrifying arrest, the government spies, the pressure it all puts on their relationship.
This book left me pondering the power of people's convictions, commitment and love, and I was so moved (and often amused!) by the authors' journey."
Roisin
"This book took me by my lapels and carried me through. It is a real page turner and I couldn't put it down. The use of dual narrative alternating between the authors makes for a very compelling read. I really enjoyed reading Unbroken and would highly recommend it. This is a book that will stay with you long after you have turned the last page. An inspiring and captivating true story of love in the face of adversity."
Alex
"A thrilling and incredibly unusual narrative. Never read anything quite like it in terms of the story and the structure in which it is told via the two authors. Powerful and impossible to put down.
