Description
A dramatic decade has passed since Eileen O'Connell departed her family's sanctuary in Ireland. Her life took a drastic turn when she married one of the wealthiest men in the country and became mistress to John O'Connor at Ballyhar. However, her husband died within months of their marriage. Eileen then left for Vienna with her sister Abigail under the auspices of their uncle, a general in the armies of Maria Theresa. In Vienna, Abby became lady-in-waiting to the Empress and served as governess to the Empress's youngest daughter, who would later become Marie Antoinette. Eileen accompanied the young princess on her journey to France, where they established themselves in Ireland. As Bittersweet Tapestry opens, it is the High Summer of 1770. Eileen and her husband, Captain Arthur O'Leary, along with their little boy and a treasured friend named Anna Pfeffer, are establishing themselves in Ireland. Their ties to Catholic Europe remain strong, with family members serving in various military units across the continent.
