About This Book
"In 1920, at their country home in County Cork, Sir Richard Naylor and his wife, Lady Myra, and their friends maintain a skeptical attitude toward the events going on around them, but behind the facade of tennis parties and army camp dances, all know that the end is approaching-- the end of British rule in the south of Ireland and, with it, the demise of a way of life that had survived for centuries.
