Eliza Lynch by Ronan Fanning
Eliza Lynch: Queen of Paraguay is one of the most intriguing, and yet one of the least-known stories of modern history.‘Takes a puzzle with many missing pieces, a tantalisingly incomplete study of a fascinating woman, and fills in the blanks to deliver a brilliant and unexpected picture’
* Sunday Independent *‘History, particularly in South America, is written by the victors and Lillis and Fanning have done a good job to sift through the half-truths and revisions that make Eliza Lynch’s story something of a rollercoaster rideWritten in an accessible, no-nonsense, style, it’s refreshing to read a book on Lynch that refuses to pander to gossip.’
* Sunday Tribune *‘This book is a fascinating account, meticulously researched.’
* The Irish Times *‘Michael Lillis and Ronan Fanning together have penned what is finally a definitive account.’
* Sunday Independent *Michael Lillis is a former diplomat who played a leading role in negotiating the Anglo-Irish Agreement on Northern Ireland of 1985. For the past two decades he has pursued business interests in South America.
