Book Description
Deirdre: A Woman from Clare is a historical romance wrapped around a mystery. It explores the many loves we enjoy: lustful love between man and woman, trusting love with parent and child, brothers, sisters and family. It explores our strong love for the land and place of our birth. There are many common treads between the British Empire of the early twentieth century and our own U.S. government at the beginning of this new twenty-first century. Set in 1915 while Europe is aflame with war, and Irish rebellion close at hand, Jay and Deirdre meet on a train in Russia and fall in love. She disappears in Paris and Jay, frantic to find her, enlists the aid of MacGregor, his father's best friend. Is she really a member of the secret Irish Republican Brotherhood? The sinking of the Lusitania adds a twist and Jay goes to Ireland to find his father and Deirdre. Chick O'Brien from Flushing, New York, has a lifelong interest in history, politics and all things Irish, including songs, stories, myths, the people and the land itself. His writings include articles, short stories, plays and a novel. He and his wife, Grace, packed up their four children and moved to Ireland. They settled in Cork County, which became the setting for this story. Today they live in Orlando, Florida, and supply artificial foliage to the theme park industry.

Pages : 0
Book Description
'I read Bessborough in one sitting, veering from fury to devastation within a matter of pages. A vitally important book.' Louise O'Neill 'A powerfully important book that demands to be read' Irish Examiner For over seventy years, Bessborough House, a grand country mansion on the outskirts of Cork city, operated as one of Ireland's biggest mother and baby institutions. Women and girls who walked up its stone steps were warned never to reveal their true identities and gave birth to babies they would not be allowed to keep. In Bessborough: Three Women. Three Decades. Three Stories of Courage, a trio of remarkable women confined there in the 60s, 70s and 80s, tell their truths. Their vivid accounts take us right inside the walls of the secretive institution and give us a deep insight into how their experiences impacted their lives afterwards. The result is a stark portrait of a system that split families apart -- and a moving account of love, loss and reconnection.

Modernist Women Writers and American Social Engagement
Author: Jody Cardinal
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498582915
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Modernist Women Writers and American Social Engagement explores the role of social and political engagement by women writers in the development of American modernism. Examining a diverse array of genres by both canonical modernists and underrepresented writers, this collection uncovers an obscured strain of modernist activism. Each chapter provides a detailed cultural and literary analysis, revealing the ways in which modernists’ politically and socially engaged interventions shaped their writing. Considering issues such as working class women’s advocacy, educational reform, political radicalism, and the global implications for American literary production, this book examines the complexity of the relationship between creating art and fostering social change. Ultimately, this collection redefines the parameters of modernism while also broadening the conception of social engagement to include both readily acknowledged social movements as well as less recognizable forms of advocacy for social change.
