Based on a true story: A novel of an illicit love affair in nineteeth-century Ireland by the New York Timesbestselling author of The American Heiress. Katharine O'Shea is an unhappily married young mother of three when she meets Charles Stewart Parnell, ';the uncrowned king of Ireland.' They couldn't be more different. Kitty is from an aristocratic English family. Born in County Wicklow to Protestant gentry, Parnell is a passionate crusader for Ireland's oppressed poor. But their first encounter leaves them both with the certainty that something momentous has occurred. Before long, they're engaged in a forbidden liaisonone that will have profound ramifications for Kitty's personal life and Charles's brilliant political career. As their love affair plays out on the world stage, scandal and a scorned husband's revenge conspire to destroy everything Charles has worked to achieve for the Irish. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of late-nineteenth-century England and Ireland, Dorothy Eden's most ambitious novel weaves a passionate, heartbreaking story of a larger-than-life man and woman whose only crime is falling in love.
