About This Book
The story follows young relatives who leave a London school to take up residence on a remote Irish estate, where arrival brings wonder, quarrels, and discovery. Through domestic scenes, seaside excursions, visits to abbeys and caves, and encounters with local characters, they confront questions of identity, custom, and belonging. Episodes blend gentle humor, family rivalries, hints of the supernatural, and civic moments such as speeches and visions, leading to reconciliations and a settling into community life. The tone is episodic and descriptive, contrasting English habits with rural traditions.
