Description
In 1776, England was gripped by 'Canal Mania', a phenomenon that would transform trade and commerce over the next fifty years. Against this backdrop, two young people's lives became intertwined in a dramatic love triangle. Sam Burton left his family farm to try his luck as a 'navvier', while Mary O'Farrell, an orphaned maid, was exploited by her wealthy master, Fintan Regan. Their paths converged on a Cheshire canal, where fate would ultimately decide the course of their lives. This gripping tale explores the complexities of love, class, and survival in 18th-century England. Set against the backdrop of this pivotal moment in history, The Girl from Dunslaney is a compelling story of human connection and resilience.
