The Yellow House

A Novel

De: Patricia Falvey

Narrado por: Sarah-Jane Drummey

The Yellow House delves into the passion and politics of Northern Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century. Eileen O'Neill's family is torn apart by religious intolerance and secrets from the past. Determined to reclaim her ancestral home and reunite her family, Eileen begins working at the local mill, saving her money and holding fast to her dream. As war is declared on a local and global scale, Eileen cannot separate the politics from the very personal impact the conflict has had on her own life.

She is soon torn between two men, each drawing her to one extreme. One is a charismatic and passionate political activist determined to win Irish independence from Great Britain at any cost, who appeals to her warrior's soul. The other is the wealthy and handsome black sheep of the pacifist family who owns the mill where she works, and whose persistent attention becomes impossible for her to ignore.

A surprise gem of a story

Although I know very little about history of the Irish fight for independence this was a delightful story of a young girl growing into a fearless woman who finally finds happiness.

Spellbinding

I had no idea what to expect from this novel, but it was amazing. The twists and turn and the depth of feeling kept me enthralled throughout. I highly recommend it.

It's a wonderful story, it's like a roller-coaster that starts slow but when it gets going. You'll feel all kinds of emotions.

Loved it. The narrator has a soft smooth voice that puts you into the story.
