"Grania explodes from the pages of Ms. Llywelyn's best historical
novel yet as one of the most remarkable women who ever
lived--brave, resourceful, passionate, tender, and, finally, in her
battle with the English she-king Elizabeth, victorious. A book for
all those who are Irish, or who would like to be, or who like to
read about the Irish." --Andrew M. Greeley
Here is an extraordinary novel about real-life Irish chieftain
Grace O Malley. From Morgan Llywelyn, bestselling author of Lion of
Ireland and the Irish Century novels, comes the story of a
magnificent, sixteenth-century heroine whose spirit and passion are
the spirit and passion of Ireland itself.
Grania (Gaelic for Grace) is no ordinary female. And she lives in
extraordinary times. For even as Grania rises as her clan's
unofficial head and breadwinner and learns to love a man, she
enters a lifelong struggle against the English forces of Queen
Elizabeth -- her nemesis and alter ego.
Elizabeth intends to destroy Grania's piracy and shipping
empire--and so subjugate Ireland once and for all. But Grania,
aided by Tigernan, her faithful (and secretly adoring) lieutenant,
has no choice but to fight back. The story of her life is the story
of Ireland's fight for solidarity and survival--but it's also the
story of Grania's growing ability to love and be strong at the same
time.
Morgan Llywelyn has written a rich, historically accurate, and
passionate novel of divided Ireland -- and of one brave woman who
is Ireland herself.
"Mary Stewart has a worthy rival."
