Yours Til Hell Freezes: A Memoir of Kevin Barry

Siofra O'Donovan

Yours ‘Till Hell Freezes is an intimate portrait of the young rebel martyr Kevin Barry, written by one of his closest descendants. Siofra’s life was enriched by Kevin Barry’s belongings - his shillelagh, his letters in brown ink, his Belvedere cap, his memorial cards, his copy books, secret British correspondence and letters to and from eminent figures about him. Kevin Barry was the first person to be hanged by the British after the 1916 Rising, at 18 years old during the War of Independence. Although Kevin was young, he had a full life. This book brings new life to Kevin Barry, using material from family papers and the public domain. The poignant descriptions of his final hours is gripping and chilling in detail.
