Fanatic Heart

Booker Prize winner Thomas Keneally transports us into the life of John Mitchel, one of the most controversial figures of the fight for Irish independence. Bringing us on a vivid, page-turning odyssey from Mitchel''s revolutionary origins in the depths of the Great Famine, through exile and a troubling political evolution, the master of historical fiction wrestles with the conflicts at the centre of a complicated legacy. ''One of the world''s greatest writers.'' Spectator ''Enlightening . . . Keneally''s descriptive gift comes into exquisite play.'' TLS ''A gripping and resonant story.'' Financial Times
