Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned.
The brilliant companion volume to Highways to War.
This masterful novel tells the story of a man who suffers exile through fighting for the future of his people. A leader of the Young Ireland rebellion of 1848, Robert Devereaux is an Irish gentleman who is prepared to hazard a life of privilege in the fight for his country's freedom.
Transported to Van Diemen's Land as a political prisoner, he enters a life that significantly changes him, falling in love with a young Irish convict woman. Through Kathleen O'Rahilly, he comes to know the people he's long romanticised, but his cause, and the life he has lost, will not let him go. (back cover)
