From the author of the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller IRELAND, an absorbing new novel that brings to life a powerful piece of Irish history.

While in Paris, during Oscar Wilde's last days, Charles O'Brien, a forty-year-old rake who fancies himself a healer, meets a beautiful, young woman from Tipperary, Ireland. He offers to find and restore her estate and her fortune, with hopes of sharing in the benefits, but she wants nothing to do with him. His efforts and her fate embody the larger story of the Irish reclamation of property and their heritage in the early part of the last century. As in his critically acclaimed bestseller Ireland, Frank Delaney conveys a chapter of Ireland's fascinating history through the epic and compelling stories of farmers and landlords, rebels and lovers.
