The Yellow House

By: Patricia Falvey

Narrated by: Sarah-Jane Drummey

Publisher's summary

The Yellow House delves into the passion and politics of Northern Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century. Eileen O'Neill's family is torn apart by religious intolerance and secrets from the past. Determined to reclaim her ancestral home and reunite her family, Eileen begins working at the local mill, saving her money and holding fast to her dream. As war is declared on a local and global scale, Eileen cannot separate the politics from the very personal impact the conflict has had on her own life.

She is soon torn between two men, each drawing her to one extreme. One is a charismatic and passionate political activist determined to win Irish independence from Great Britain at any cost, who appeals to her warrior's soul. The other is the wealthy and handsome black sheep of the pacifist family who owns the mill where she works, and whose persistent attention becomes impossible for her to ignore.

A surprise gem of a story

Although I know very little about history of the Irish fight for independence this was a delightful story of a young girl growing into a fearless woman who finally finds happiness.

A wonderful story!

I love historical fiction because the authors who do it well put in the time and the research. This makes the story feel authentic and readers like me become invested. I appreciate the personal conflict and the storyline, and this girl appreciates a happy ending!
