Collins frequented Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese off Londons Fleet Street and borrowed some traits for his male protagonist from John OConnor Power who was also well known in the convivial tavern. Collins links the Irish Question to the Woman Question. The novel recounts the story of Lord Harry Norland, a member of a squad of political assassins the books heroine is Iris Henley, a bold and nonconformist Englishwoman who falls in love with the Irish Norland despite his criminal activities (the "blind love" of the title).
