Robert Devereux is a man of romantic sensibility who is also a man of action. He is one of the leaders of the Young Ireland group of 1848 who called upon his people to take up arms against the British. His journals, uncovered from a hop farm in Tasmania, tell the story of a highly unusual rebel.

Historical fiction with narrative drive,

This review is from: Out of Ireland Pb (Paperback)
Particularly interesting to those descendants of Irish emigrants who populated the Americas and Australia in the 19th century but also a very well told first person singular story of one "quality" revolutionary gentleman transported from the British Isles and the adventures he underwent in transit, on a hulk in Bermuda and in Van Diemen's land (Tasmania, Australia). Quite detailed and accurate almost sociological and political in its thrust as it traverses events that shaped the 20th century and the tragedies that resulted in that time. Atmospheric and memorable.
