Bestselling author
Alice Taylor’s gripping sequel to The Woman of the House, a story of land, love and family set in rural Ireland.
At Mossgrove, the Phelan family farm, long-time hired hand Jack plays peacemaker as widow Martha Phelan battles her young son, Peter, who wants to modernise the farm. Tensions on the home front are bitter enough, but at the Conway farm across the river, more trouble is brewing. Slovenly Matt Conway feels trapped and abuses his wife, Biddy. Spurred on by a misguided belief that the Phelans got the best of him in a loan to buy land, he keeps vigil at a fence post plotting revenge ...
'An amiable cast and description aplenty for those looking for a bit of an Irish idyll.'
Kirkus Reviews
'Taylor's flair for the dramatic creates an atmosphere of suspense; and folksy witticisms and homey evocations of rural life round out the tale.;
Publishers Weekly
'Alice Taylor is an outstanding storyteller.'
The Irish Times
