This title is presented with an introduction by Victoria Glendinning. The Irish
troubles rage, but up at the 'Big House', tennis parties, dances and flirtations
with the English officers continue, undisturbed by the ambushes, arrests and bu
rning country beyond the gates. Faint vibrations of discord reach the young girl
Lois, who is straining for her own freedom, and she will witness the troubles s
urge closer and reach their irrevocable, inevitable climax.
