Synopsis: Based on a true story: A novel of an illicit love affair in nineteeth-century Ireland by the New York Times–bestselling 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 liaison—one 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.
