This book is a dramatization of the key events in the legend of Parnell, from entering Parliament as a nervous speaker, to becoming the "uncrowned king of Ireland." The struggles of the Land League are played out in cinematic fashion, and the courtroom scenes are powerful and utterly compelling. This book manages to be highly detailed in terms of historical accuracy, yet still retain the pace and momentum needed to engage the reader. This book has all the potential to become a long-running classic of Irish historical fiction.
