The Talbot-Lowrys of Mount Music are a hunting, debt-ridden Protestant gentry family in County Cork, watching their land and authority slip away as a new Catholic middle class rises around them. When courtships begin to cross the old line between creeds, families, priests and neighbours are set against one another.
A late, finely observed novel of Irish class and creed from the authors of The Real Charlotte and the Irish R.M. stories. Download the free EPUB.
