Book Overview

Grania: The Story Of An Island is a novel written by Emily Lawless and published in 1891. The book is set on the fictional island of Innishrone, off the west coast of Ireland, and tells the story of Grania O'Malley, a strong-willed and independent woman who is determined to protect her people and their way of life from the encroachment of English influence.
