Description
Edith A Novel by Martina Devlin is a captivating narrative set against the tumultuous backdrop of Irish Independence in 1921-22. Against this volatile landscape, Edith Somerville struggles to maintain her family home and sense of self amidst the turmoil. As she navigates the treacherous world of Civil War politics and lawlessness, Edith finds solace in her writing partnership with Violet Martin, which continues even after her partner's death through automatic writing and séances. This poignant story explores Edith Somerville's courage in the face of loss and uncertainty, as she strives to keep home and heart intact. Martina Devlin brings a vivid historical context to this remarkable tale, shedding light on the life of a pioneering woman writer whose legacy has been uniquely documented by academic Shawn R. Mooney.
