$18.00 CAD

pp. 712,   “Through the lives of many men and women–famous and obscure, some heroes and some fools (most a little of both), all of them stubborn, acutely sensitive, and devastatingly charming–we become immersed in the Irish experience and its astonishing history. From Ireland to Canada and the United States to the bush towns of Australia, we are plunged into stories of tragedy, survival, and triumph. All are vividly portrayed in Keneally’s spellbinding prose, as he reveals the enormous influence the exiled Irish have had on the English-speaking world.”
