The Desmond Hundred is a historical novel written by Jane Goodwin Austin and published in 1882. Set in Ireland during the 16th century, the story follows the lives of the Desmond family and their struggles against English oppression. The protagonist, Eily O'Connor, is a young Irish girl who falls in love with the English soldier, Captain Aylmer, and becomes torn between her loyalty to her country and her love for him. As the conflict between the Irish and English intensifies, Eily must navigate the dangerous political landscape while trying to protect her family and the people she loves. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and patriotism, as well as the harsh realities of colonialism and oppression.
