Summary "Sketches in the House: The Story of a Memorable Session" by T. P. O'Connor is a political commentary written during the late 19th century. The book provides an insightful glimpse into the dynamics of the British House of Commons during a historic session, particularly focusing on the contentious issue of Home Rule for Ireland and the various characters involved in that political struggle. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for this historic session, capturing the atmosphere and the tensions among the Members of Parliament. It describes the diverse personalities at play, from fervent Irish nationalists like Dr. Tanner to staunch Orangemen like Mr. Johnson, highlighting the contrasting passions and political allegiances that fill the chamber. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the conflicting interests regarding Home Rule, revealing the political strategies at work and the repercussions of individual actions within the larger political context. O'Connor uses humor and keen observations to illustrate the peculiarities and rivalries present, laying a foundation for the evolving drama of the session.
