At the end of the nineteenth century, Charles Stewart Parnell, MP, was the only man who both the English government & Irish radicals believed could secure Home Rule for Irel&. But when Parnell met & fell in love with Kitty O' Shea, a married woman, Parnell's life
- & Ireland's history
- would change for ever. When Parnell was named as co-respondent in Kitty's divorce & revealed as the father of three of Kitty's children it would trigger the most notorious scandal of the Victorian era. Elisabeth Kehoe's vivid biography introduces us to a woman who is unrecognisable from the home-wrecker & historical catastrophe she is commonly seen as. From this book emerges, for the first time, the real Katie O' Shea: a gifted woman bound by impossible financial & social restrictions who influences political policy with an acuity & sensitivity sorely lacking in her Irish lover. Ireland's Misfortune is a compelling account of one of history's most misunderstood women & offers a fresh insight into a defining moment in Irish history.
