Description
The Yellow House A Novel by Patricia Falvey is set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland's tumultuous early 20th-century history. Eileen O'Neill's family is torn apart by religious intolerance and secrets from the past, driving her to reclaim her ancestral home and reunite her family. As war breaks out on a local and global scale, Eileen finds herself caught between two men, each drawing her in with their own extreme ideologies. One is a charismatic activist fighting for Irish independence, while the other is a wealthy black sheep of a pacifist family who owns the mill where she works. Torn between her personal desires and the politics that surround her, Eileen must navigate the complexities of her own life amidst the turmoil of war.
