Produktbeschreibung
At the close of Book 1 we have learned that six year-old Agnes Connor is a badass and not afraid of Spikes, the rent man. But he has punished her father for her brash act on gael day. Far away in Dublin, as Book 2 opens, fate continues to stir Ireland´s pot. Riding a rough sea into Dublin, the Mountjoy brothers arrive in Ireland for their first trip to oversee the estates they will one day inherit from their uncle. Charles, the weak-stomached elder brother has nothing but scorn for the natives, savages in his eyes who greet him on the dock with their sour breath and stinking rags. The adventurous Robert, on the other hand, younger and high-spirited, soars with excitement as he sets foot on Irish soil eager to discover the countryside, the pretty daughters of the Irish Ascendency and life as a guest of the Lord Lieutenant. The brothers´ itinerary will take them to the Baron Parkland´s estate in Mayo, also home to the Connors. Far from Mountjoy´s gay parties in Georgian Dublin, Connor is devastated by the loss of his friends, the Ryans, evicted because they could not pay the tax Spikes levied because they had mended their roof. As Connor fights to save his farm, an undercurrent of tension surfaces between Connor and his brother, their wives and children. This second installment shows the Connors dancing closer to the edge of a cliff looking for ways to save their farm, while in stories and song the villagers recall the rule of England´s Cromwell, whose cruel edicts still overshadow their lives more than a hundred years later.
