Martina’s biographical novel reveals the life of Edith Somerville, (of Sommerville and Ross fame) as she battles to save her beloved Drishane House against a backdrop of Civil War politics and lawlessness erupting across the country via IRA flying columns. Dr. Terence Dooley, author of the recent study Burning the Big House: The Story of the Irish Country House in a Time of War and Revolution will talk about the destruction of nearly 300 Irish Country Houses during the revolutionary years 1912 -1923.
