Book Description
National Book Award Finalist: A couple returns to an Irish village after years away in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of As We Are Now. The Irish estate home Dene’s Court has been empty for years—its icy visage, shuttered windows, and overgrown tennis court are a burden for its caretakers and a curiosity for the nearby townspeople. And so the announcement that Violet Dene Gordon and her husband, Charles, are on their way back from British Burma to settle in the long-dormant estate sends a ripple of excitement through the sleepy village. For Violet, Dene’s Court stands as a monument to her childhood, but lingering doubts remain about whether she and Charles will be happy there. Adding complexity to the arrangement is the arrival of Violet’s American niece, a college student named Sally who has been sent by her mother in an effort to put an ocean between the impetuous young woman and the object of her affection, an actor. Anxiety, tempers, and long-buried emotions flare as the estate’s new residents search for a sense of belonging and peace between its hallowed and serene walls.

The Recreations of a Country Parson
Author: Andrew Kennedy Hutchison Boyd
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
'The Recreations of a Country Parson' is a collection of essays and autobiographical writings written by Andrew Kennedy Hutchison Boyd. He was originally intended for the English Bar but entered the Church of Scotland, and was minister latterly at St. Andrews. Clear, precise, and definite in his habits, Boyd, both professionally and socially, was entirely unconventional and independent. A close and shrewd observer, with a quick grasp of character and a humorous sense tinged with cynicism, he was always fresh and attractive – and not seldom brilliant – as preacher, writer, or conversationalist.
