A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Against the backdrop of the Irish independence movement, Book Two of the three-volume family saga, The Winship Family, continues the lives of James Winship and his two children, William and Cornelia, and the scheming Marquess of Gortin and his revenge-laden Sudbury family. James recovers from another family tragedy, returns to the political arena, rising to a cabinet position in the British Liberal party, and enters into an affair with the fashionable political hostess, Lady Emily Winslowe; William becomes a a British Indian army officer, battling tribesmen and a trumped-up court martial; Cornelia encounters life-changing complications as a glittering debutante in a dramatic London Social Season; and the Sudburys, grandfather, father, and son, together weave webs of harmful intrigue against the Winships. Included in this Anglo-Irish historical novel are actual parliamentary leaders, like Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, H.H.Asquith, Arthur Balfour, and the Irish party leaders John Dillon and Timothy Healy.

Revue de presse :

From Kirkus Reviews “Again, in this sequel, [Author] McCarthy combines fictional and historical characters to great effect... culminating in an exciting conclusion that sets up a third book in the series...Mandatory for readers of the first Winship book, but this engaging blend of action, intrigue and history can stand alone.”
