Sequel to _Carrow of Carrowduff_, with same personages. Several interwoven love stories—in particular that of an English Protestant gentleman (converted in the course of the tale) with Mrs. Monsel, a widow, mother-in-law to Corona Carrow, who tells part of the story. The _dénouement_ has a deep religious interest, which indeed is the chief interest of the whole book. ⸺ DAFFODIL’S LOVE AFFAIRS. Pp. 320. (_Holden & Hardingham_). 6_s._ 1913. A story of life among gentlefolk. Scene: near Carlingford and in London. D.’s mother, of a good but impoverished family, has five daughters on her hands, and the way in which these are married off, partly owing to her matchmaking exertions, forms the burden of the story. For the most part it is a light and vivacious story of social life and flirtations, but an element of tragedy is introduced in one of the subsidiary love-stories, that of D.’s sister Kit, who was thus punished for a flirtation carried on with Sir Dermot de Courcy while his wife was still alive. ⸺ MARY: A Romance of West County. Pp. 273. (_Washbourne_). 2_s._ 6_d._ 1915. On leaving her convent school in Dublin, Mary goes home to realise for the first time that her father not only cares little for her but dislikes her (her birth had cost her mother’s life). But in the long run she wins his love. There is a double love story—her own and that of her madcap, slangy, tomboy cousin Benigna. The Author is persistently vivacious and sprightly (calling in slang to her assistance) in a way that might irritate. There is no repose or quiet beauty about the style. =KENNY, Louise.= ⸺ THE RED-HAIRED WOMAN: Her Autobiography. Pp. 400. (_Murray_). 6_s._ 1905. The interest centres in an old county family of Thomond, the O’Currys. Characters typical of various conditions of life in Ireland: an unpopular, police-protected landlord, a landowner with an encumbered estate, an upstart usurer, faithful retainers, evicted tenants, etc. (_N.I.R._, Dec., 1905). =KENNY, M. L.= ⸺ THE FORTUNES OF MAURICE CRONIN. Three Vols. (_Tinsley_). 1875. A very long novel with a very complicated plot and without a trace of brightness or of humour. The plot turns chiefly on a case of mistaken identity. Maurice returns from soldiering in India to find that he is really heir to the estates of the Grace family, and can marry Mary Grace, his cousin, whom his putative mother had thought to be his sister. No national interest. Date 184-. Places such as Deverell’s Chase, Desmond’s Tower, Rathcroghan, are mentioned. =KERR, Eliza.= ⸺ SLIEVE BLOOM. Pp. 153. (_Wesleyan Conference Office_). Three illustr. 1881.
