This is the third in the series of LiteBite Books telling the story of Ireland. It takes us from what was a state of virtual slavery, the misery of the Penal Laws imposed on the Irish by the Government of England after the Williamite invasion of Ireland, to virtual freedom and prosperity with the Emancipation Act won by Daniel O’Connell. Along the way we witness the genius of Grattan, the beauty of the Georgian Dublin created by Gardiners, and the excitement of the French invasion and the affair of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. This whole period, 1690 to 1847, saw the greatest change in the fortunes of the Irish since the arrival of the Normans over six hundred years earlier.
