Lord Kilgobbin
A work of unusual and complex range, Lord Kilgobbin was Lever's last novel and was published in the year of his death, 1872. With its settings spanning the Irish midlands to imperial London, and Turkey to Greece, the book's heroine, Nina Kostalergi, emerges as the daughter of an Irish gentlewoman and a Delos prince. When the novel first appeared the abortive Fenian Rising of 1867 was still fresh in the public mind, and Lever spins a gripping tale of Irish politics in a context of imperial negotiations.
