This is a very comprehensive biography of a significant Irish historical figure. It is very apparent that the author admirers Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington greatly and while I feel that at times she is not as critical of her muse as she should be in a biography it is far removed from hagiography and I would highly recommend it.
