Daireen. Volume 1 of 2

Name: Daireen. Volume 1 of 2
Author: Frank Frankfort Moore

The novel follows a young man returned to his family's coastal estate whose affection for a local gentlewoman provokes clashes between proud elders. Scenes concentrate on the comic grandiosity of an imperious patriarch asserting ancestral dignity, and on private negotiations and misunderstandings between the Macnamaras and the Geralds. Social rank, family expectation, and personal desire shape courtship and household life, while witty domestic episodes and regional atmosphere expose tensions between tradition and changing individual aims.
