This is the story of
Kitty O'Shea, married woman whose love affair with Charles Stewart
Parnell in the late nineteenth century led to the famous Irish patriot's
downfall.
Told as a fictional biography, the author has been
assisted in her sympathetic and understanding portrait of heroine by
discovering Katherine O'Shea's own published account of her passionate
and unshakeable love and loyalty of Parnell.
The stormy days of Gladstone and the Home Rule Bill for Ireland form a lively background to this most moving and tragic story.
