Description: A story of love for the home place and of the passions and jealousies it can inspire. Following his brutish father's unlamented death, young Danny Conway strives to rescue the family farm from ruin; when all seems hopeless, help comes from the most unexpected quarter. House of Memories tells a story of resilience in the face of family tragedy; a story, too, of bereavement and grief, and of trying to cope with loss. No one knows the weft and warp of country life as Alice Taylor does, and in her third novel she again dusplays her unique ability to capture its rhythms and cadences.
Notes: Adult.
