A Struggle for Independence (English Edition)

Sometimes a woman comes to the realization that she has built the perfect life but with the wrong man.It is 1916 Ireland and Independence Mather has settled into a routine as the wife of a wealthy landowner. When architect Nicky Bowers enters her life, her world is upended. She quickly falls in love with the charming and attentive Irishman, but Nicky has secrets. When Penny discovers he is an Irish rebel, she is swept into the middle of the Easter Rising. Now she must decide whether to remain married to a British loyalist or join the rebellion to be by the side of the man she loves, and success is far from assured.Set against the backdrop of the 1916 Irish Easter Rising, the book offers sweeping views of the lush and beautiful Irish countryside, brings to life the Dublin of the early 20th century, and provides insight into the vastly different worlds of the British aristocrats and the average Irish citizen.Richard R. Blake of Midwest Book Review has said of Terrell's historical works, “Terrell introduces a new level of excellence to the historical novel. Using the mastery of an artist, Terrell paints colorful word pictures and descriptive phrases that are so exquisitely well-chosen that the reader is magnetically drawn into the plot, taking on a role as an active participant in the intrigue of the story.”
