Weep, Grey Bird, Weep is the story of the most extraordinary love
story of the 19th century, set against the background of the most
disastrous war ever fought. The war saw the tiny republic of
Paraguay fighting against the combined forces of Argentina, Brazil
and Uruguay. By the time the war ended, in March 1870, Paraguay's
population had been reduced by more than half, and 80 per cent of
the male population had been killed. Paraguay's leader in this war
was Francisco Solano Lopez and by his side was his devoted lover, a
girl from Ireland called Eliza Lynch. He was killed on the last day
of the war and she buried him and their eldest son, who died trying
to protect her, with her bare hands.
