Margo McDonagh lived one hundred and fifty years ago during a barbaric and oppressive period in Irish history when brutality frequently held sway over justice and tragedy proved a habitual way of life. Margo gave birth to a boy, Hugo, a beautiful and gifted child. This is the tragic story of a mother's love and unyielding determination against religion, rebels, rouges and rancour to search for the happiness and justice that we all seek.
Prepare yourself for a labyrinth of drama and tragedy that accelerates to an explosive conclusion. Seldom does Irish Literature roll so bitterly sweet as 0' Neill's forgoes the piquant perception of the era for its fiery reality. This is a book that will remain etched in your thoughts
