The scene is Ireland. The time, 1916, is the eve of the famous tragic Easter Rebellion in Dublin, which startled Europe even in the midst of the First World War. A single Anglo-Irish family provides the extremely diverse characters. Pat Dumay is a Catholic and an Irish patriot. His relentlessly pious mother pursues her own private war with his step-father, a man sunk in religious speculation and drink. Pat's English-bred Protestant cousin and rival, Andrew Chase-White, an officer in King Edward's Horse, puzzles out his complex emotions about Ireland and Frances, the girl he loves, against a background of the fear of death, while Frances's father, Christopher Bellman, scholar and cynic, finds love of Ireland a more passionate matter than he had bargained for. Weaving these people together into a tragi-comic pattern moves Millie Kinnard: fast, feminist, and only just respectable. As rebellion looms nearer, tension mounts in the sombre rain-soaked Dublin streets; and if, in the end, death disperses most of the people, this is felt to be as inevitable as in a Sophoclean play.

I‘m not going to finish this. The writing is amazing and the descriptions just wonderful. However I find myself really having to concentrate to read it. Set me wondering if these great authors of fine literature will get read in the future. I heard that at an uni in the US literature students couldn‘t even read a whole book. So used to just reading a chapter to critique from high school. Never a whole book. 🤷🏻‍♂️. 🥲

Sace I have heard the same. In fact I was talking to an English teacher I work with and she was saying the same thing. Reading novels no longer seems to be the norm. Students read an entire Shakespeare play though. It‘s sad really. 3w

My holiday books are almost entirely ebooks and audiobooks, but the cover of my current audiobook and the cover of my most recent physical purchase fit the red and green prompt. Really excited for the new Brené Brown, but I‘m not sure if I‘ll get to it this month.

When you are looking around for ideas for your first photo challenge and realise your son has helpfully put his green lizard on your red TBR Christmas pick! This is the physical book I have first up to read in December straight after I finish one of my #booked2021 prompts. Book themed photo entry- 15 points woohoo!

BittersweetBooks This one is laugh out loud funny, one of my favorite holiday reads! 🤣 3y
