The Girls of Ennismore A Heart-Rending Irish Saga

Set in Ireland during the turbulent early 20th century, this evocative and sweeping historical saga explores the unlikely, enduring friendship between two girls from vastly different worlds: Rosie Killeen, a local farmer's daughter, and Victoria Bell, the young aristocrat of the Ennismore estate. Despite the deep chasm of class and birthright, their bond is forged in childhood. As they approach womanhood, their friendship is tested by the simmering social tensions in Ireland and their own changing lives. Victoria heads to Dublin for her coming out season, while Rosie is caught between her family, her forbidden feelings for Victoria's brother, Valentine, and the growing political unrest. The country's struggle for Home Rule, the outbreak of the Great War, and the cataclysmic 1916 Easter Rebellion profoundly impact both women. Forced to discover their own paths in a nation that will never be the same, Rosie and Victoria navigate love, duty, heartbreak, and loss in a moving story about the enduring power of female friendship against a turbulent historical backdrop.
