Booker Prize winner Thomas Keneally transports us into the life of John Mitchel, one of the most controversial figures of the fight for Irish independence.

Bringing us on a vivid, page-turning odyssey from Mitchel’s revolutionary origins in the depths of the Great Famine, through exile and a troubling political evolution, the master of historical fiction wrestles with the conflicts at the centre of a complicated legacy.

‘One of the world’s greatest writers.’ Spectator’Enlightening . . . Keneally’s descriptive gift comes into exquisite play.’ TLS’A gripping and resonant story.’ Financial Times
