Summary
Including an Author's Note read by Thomas Keneally
From the prize-winning, international bestselling author comes a sweeping, immersive tale of the life and exploits of Irish patriot John Mitchel.
‘God save all here.’
Summer, 1847. People are getting used to the corpses lying by the road and along the ditches. For John Mitchel – lawyer, journalist, activist, politician – the word ‘famine’ will forever conjure the hollowed faces of Ireland’s dead, the liquid Irish of the past now mute on their tongues.
Propelled by disgust at the injustice, Mitchel will do all he can to fight for the destitute, the starved, the forgotten. His odyssey will take him all the way to America – that land of promise – but it will draw him into a terrible paradox. He is trying to save lives – in doing so, will he betray the very people he is trying to protect?
In Fanatic Heart, Booker Prize winner Thomas Keneally takes on one of the most controversial figures of the fight for Irish independence to wrestle with the conflicts at the centre of a complicated legacy.

Phoney caricature accents get in the way of a great story.
I liked the way the unfolding story was told.
However, it was completely spoiled for me by the truly excruciating 'Oirish' accents ascribed to John and Jenny Mitchel. I abandoned the audio version and opted to read the book..
