Deirdre, A Woman from Clare

An excerpt from the book...
"When I and my sisters have our rights. When all women in Ireland and America too can cast a vote and hold an office; when we may own our own land and pay no ground rent to a man across the sea, then I will spit in my palm and shake hands with some politician, some man."

 
 
   

About the Story


Deirdre: A Woman from Clare
is a historical romance wrapped
around a mystery. It explores the many loves we enjoy: lustful love between man and woman, trusting love with parent and child, brothers, sisters and family.

It explores our strong love for the land and place of our birth. There are many common threads between the British Empire of the early twentieth century and our own U.S. government at the beginning of this new twenty-first century.

Set in 1915 while Europe is aflame with war, and Irish rebellion close at hand, Jay and Deirdre meet on a train in Russia and fall in love. She disappears in Paris and Jay, frantic to find her, enlists the aid of MacGregor, his father’s best friend.

Is she really a member of the secret Irish Republican Brotherhood? The sinking of the Lusitania adds a twist and Jay goes to Ireland to find his father and Deirdre.
