A Novel of Irish Passions

As tomorrow is St. Patrick's day (one of my favorite holidays), I wanted to tell you about a novel I just read called The Yellow House by Patricia Falvey. It's about the passion and politics of Northern Ireland at the beginning of the 20th Century as Ireland struggled for independence from Britain (The Troubles). And, as the Irish would say, Och, it's a grand love story too.

The Linen Queen is Falvey's latest novel (2011) set in Northern Ireland during WWII.
