Was he not heir to the great Scroope Manor? Was he not young and handsome? The feckless young Englishman agrees to take up his new duties for his uncle, the dying Earl of Scroope. But during his years sabbatical he travels to Ireland where he hires a boat while stationed in Ireland with his regiment. He meets and falls in love with a beautiful Irish girl, Kate O'Hara. He seduces her and she becomes pregnant . . . But he has promised the Earl not to marry a Catholic. Kate's mother and their priest Father Marty pressure the young man. Lady Mary, the Earl's second wife interferes. As if that were not enough, Kate's shadowy fugitive father causes trouble. And then, there is the beautiful Sophia Mellerby. Fred's indecision results in tragedy. Here is a book by the great Anthony Trollope, still debating moral issues as in his better known novels, but in much shorter form. |

Contributor Bio(s): Trollope, Anthony: - "Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas." |
