Lovers and Dancers
ByPublisher Description
Commencing in strife-torn Ireland in the early nineteenth century, Lovers and Dancers is a richly-woven saga of proud men and headstrong women caught up in the dramatic conflicts of the times.
At the heart of the story is the great house, Drumloch. Its master is Redmond Bouchard, handsome drinker and gambler, who sees his fortune crumble as he desperately strives to retain his heritage. His only children are twin daughters. Donna is passionate and caring; Letitia, beautiful but heartless. Rebelling against all the social conventions of the time they become involved with the sons of a tenant farmer. And thenceforward their only future lies far away from the rigid barriers of religion and class in famine-racked Ireland.
Moving first to pioneer America, and then on to the new colony of Australia, the interweaving strands of this powerful novel, inspired by Trollope, encompass a giant spread of turbulent events.
