Description

A retelling of the life and exploits of Irish patriot John Mitchel, with a particular focus on his time in exile on Van Diemen’s Land. John Mitchel, Irishman, lawyer, journalist, activist, and politician, is a complex character. Charged with treason in Ireland and tried by an English judge, he was transported to various locations before eventually being secreted out of Australia to the USA. A powerful voice for Irish nationalism, Mitchel's story is intertwined with the support of his wife, Jenny Mitchel, who followed him across continents to support their beliefs. The novel also explores conflicting viewpoints through characters like Tom, a descendant of convicts, who disagrees with Mitchel's beliefs and behaviors.
