Author Bio
Katherine O' Shea, known in the press as Kitty O' Shea, met Parnell while she was married to Captain Willie O' Shea. Their affair, with her subsequent public divorce proceedings, caused outrage among Irish supporters of Parnell. While they went on to marry, the relationship was to destroy Parnell's political career. Her account of their love story and the politics it touched upon is personal, engaging and a thoroughly fascinating read.
