Description:
The eagerly-awaited paperback of an incredible work of history, social injustice and survival.

'...a grandly conceived and prodigiously researched homage to his Irish forebears' The Age

'... the range and coverage of this material is impressive ... his zest is infectious' Sydney Morning Herald

'... engaging and meticulously compiled' Australian Financial Review

In the nineteenth century, the Irish population was halved. The Great Shame is Thomas Keneally's astonishing work of non-fiction which traces the three causes of this depletion- the famine, the emigrations, and the transportations to Australia.

Based on unique research among little-used sources, this masterly book traces eighty years of Irish history, told through the intimate lens of political prisoners - some of them Keneally's ancestors who served time as convicts in Australia.

Beginning with Hugh Larkin, a twenty-four-year-old 'Ribbonman' transported for life in 1834, The Great Shame tells of the Ireland these prisoners came from and the Australia they encountered. It brings us close to Irish women such as Esther, wife of Larkin, and the future Lady Wilde, mother of Oscar, friend and collaborator of notable Irish prisoners. But we also encounter the 'Female Factory' and the Irish convict women who married humble Protestant criminals, and we learn of the often desperate survival methods of

Great dressy sneaker to wear with business casual or jeans
Size: 11, Color: British Tan/Ivry
I got these for my husband to wear with jeans or business casual dress pants. They look sharp and professional and dress up jeans if you're going out. He says they fit comfortably and he can walk on them all day without his feet hurting. They are beautiful genuine leather so they don't get stinky. I got my husband's normal size and they fit to size.

Comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Black/Ivory
Most comfortable and roomy shoes I ever wore. Great for insoles. Looks nice too. The base of the shoe is a bit too thick but it’s fine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfort, Style, and Performance — Perfect for Daily Runs and All-Day Wear!
Size: 11, Color: Black/Dark Smoke Grey
I purchased the Nike Men’s Quest 6 for my son, and he’s been absolutely thrilled with them. From the moment he put them on, he noticed how lightweight and supportive they felt — a great balance between cushioning and responsiveness. He wears them both for running and casual outings, and they’ve held up beautifully. The breathable mesh upper keeps his feet cool even during longer runs, and the midsole cushioning absorbs impact nicely without feeling too soft or unstable. The grip on the outsole provides solid traction on roads and gym floors, giving confidence with every step. Design-wise, they look sleek and modern — the classic Nike styling pairs well with both athletic and casual outfits. After several weeks of use, the shoes still look almost new, showing how well they’re built. Pros: ✅ Lightweight yet supportive — great for running or walking ✅ Comfortable fit right out of the box ✅ Excellent breathability and cushioning ✅ Durable construction that holds up with daily use ✅ Stylish design that transitions easily from workout to casual wear Cons: • Runs slightly narrow, so consider sizing up if between sizes Overall, the Nike Quest 6 offers exceptional comfort and quality for the price. My son says they’re some of the most comfortable shoes he’s ever worn — perfect for both training and everyday wear. If you’re looking for a reliable running shoe that combines performance, durability, and style, this is an excellent choice.

Excellent Running Shoe
Size: 11, Color: Black/University Red/White
The Nike Quest 6 has been a great fit right out of the box. The sizing felt true, and the shoe wrapped comfortably without feeling tight or loose. It was easy to get a secure, natural fit from the first wear. Quality is solid for everyday use. The materials feel well put together, and the shoe holds up nicely for walking and light running. It feels dependable and comfortable for regular wear. What really stood out was the value. The price was much better than what I saw in retail stores, especially for a Nike shoe that performs this well. It’s an easy way to get a reliable running shoe without paying full store pricing. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-made shoe that delivers a lot for the cost.
