Overview
This is the story of two talented Irish young people whose lives are entangled with politics. This story shows daily life of Irish artisans, coming of age in the conquered land of Ireland. There's romance in the Victorian age, in contrast to the constant intrigue as the Irish struggle to reclaim their country from the tight-fisted English. This was a turbulent time when the term 'political violence' was invented. It was a time of English absentee landowners, the Old IRA, Excommunications from the Church, Fenian groups, the Land War, the Land League, Parnell, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, Invincibles, and the Phoenix Park Murders. John and Margaret lived through it all.
In 1882, a series of Irish political victories triggered a backlash from the outraged English Conservative Party. John and Margaret, endured many hardships as they made their way out of Ireland to a distant land of opportunity, never to return. This is a fictional story based on real events, real places, and real persons.
