Another Kind of Life
$9.99
Perceptive, absorbing and beautifully told, Another Kind of Life is an unforgettable portrait of a family, and of Ireland, which will stay with the reader long after the last page.
Hannah, May and Eleanor are sisters whose early life in Dublin with their middle class parents has prepared them for a comfortable future of marriage, children and servants. Further north, Mary and Cecilia are also sisters, struggling to make a living in the linen mills of Belfast amid rising political tension.
The lives of all the sisters are destined to unfold in ways that none of them could have imagined and Another Kind of Life is the intricately crafted tale of how their lives entwine, against the backdrop of the rapidly changing Ireland of the late 19th century.
