By: Janet ToddThey were known as the Ascendancy, the dashing aristocratic elite that controlled Irish politics and society at the end of the eighteenth century—and at their pinnacle stood Caroline and Robert King, Lord and Lady Kingsborough of Mitchelstown Castle. Heirs to ancient estates and a vast fortune, Lord and Lady Kingsborough appeared to be blessed with everything but marital love—which only made the scandal that tore through their family more shocking. In 1798, at the height of a rebellion that was setting Ireland ablaze, Robert King was tried for the murder of his wife’s cousin—a crime born of passion that proved to have extraordinary political implications. In her brilliant new book, Janet Todd unfolds the fascinating story of how this powerful Anglo-Irish family became entwined with the downfall not only of their class, but of their very way of life.
Like Amanda Foreman’s bestselling Georgiana, Daughters of Ireland brings to life the world of a glittering elite in an age of international revolution. When her daughters, Margaret and Mary, were at their most impressionable, Lady Kingsborough hired the firebrand feminist Mary Wollstonecraft to be their governess, little realizing how radically this would alter both girls’ beliefs and characters. The tall, striking Margaret went on to provide crucial support to the United Irishmen in the days leading up to the Rebellion of 1798, while soft, pleasing Mary indulged in an illicit, and all but incestuous love affair that precipitated multiple tragedies.
As the Kingsboroughs imploded, the most powerful and colorful figures of the day were swept up in their drama—the dashing aristocrat turned revolutionary Lord Edward Fitzgerald; the liberal, cultivated Countess of Moira, a terrible snob despite her support of Irish revolutionaires; the notorious philanderer Colonel George King, whose sexual debauchery was matched only by his appalling cruelty; Britain’s cold calculating prime minister William Pitt and its mad ruler King George III.
With irresistible narrative drive and richly intimate historic detail, Daughters of Ireland an absolutely spellbinding work of history, biography, passion, and rebellion.

Pleasantly surprised - much better than price would indicate
Color: Nude
Needed a nude clutch to go with a deep aubergine dress i am planning to wear to a wedding. I did not want to spend too much as I'll only use it 1-2 times a year. I am pleased with the look and heft of the bag, and especially the chain; thank God there's a chain. This purse does not look cheap in any way. It will fit my phone, tissues, lipstick, change purse, and credit card/license. Other clutches were too small or too big, but this hits the sweet spot. I ordered additional colors (navy and black). Also - because its a flap closure, there is no clasp that could break or look chinsy

Stylish & Functional
Size: 70" x 48", Style: Starter Wall
The Stand Up Desk Store Expanse Modular Wall is a fantastic addition to my workspace. The frosted acrylic panels provide privacy without blocking light, and the sound-absorbent panels really help reduce noise. It’s easy to assemble, looks great with the sleek silver frame, and the modular design makes it super versatile. Great quality and value—highly recommended!

Does the job
Size: 53" x 48", Style: Starter Wall
Decent look, basic unit. Wasn’t the easiest build, I had to trim panels to get a good fit. Great price, but quality matches that point.
