Fools of Fortune by William Trevor - a classic early novel from one of the world's greatest writers
Winner of the Whitbread Prize for Best Novel of the Year
Murder and revenge during the Irish Civil War
The Quintons have lived in the old house in Cork for hundreds of years. Though Anglo-Irish Protestant, they sympathize with the cause of independence and secretly fund Michael Collins' fighters. But one of their workers is an informer to the British, and when he's murdered on their land, though they know nothing of it, the Black and Tans come seeking revenge.
