Format:Paperback
We are Besieged
The book deals with the burning out of an Angl Irish family in 1920 and what happens to them in the subsequent ten years. The backdrop for most of the novel is a Georgian house in Fitzwilliam Square in Dublin, where the family try to deal with the new Ireland in their different ways.
Two attractive sisters, the self willed Isobel and the more endearing Caroline grow up in a society where there are no officers to dance with, no Viceregal drawing-rooms to assure them position.
When the British left southern Ireland, many of the Anglo-Irish remaining in the country felt like aliens, beseiged in a hostile land. While some adapted to the new regime, others, such as Isobel and Caroline's mother, neither could nor would. Their sons and daughters grew up as a generation that could hardly remember the British. Families were divided against themselves, children against their parents.
Most enjoyable hstorical family saga.
