Peg O' My Heart by J. Hartley Manners is an in-depth and sympathetic look at Ireland's struggle for independence against English colonial rule. Manners writes passionately about the life and adventures of Peg and her father. Excerpt: «Father Cahill breathed hard. He was a splendid type of the Irish Parish-Priest of the old school.

But of late there was a growing feeling of discontent among the younger generation.»
