Home to Cavendish

By Antoinette Tyrrell

The Irish Civil War is raging across County Cork, and sixteen-year-old Edith Cavendish, bored within the confines of her privileged life, embarks on a forbidden love affair with local rebel Tadgh Carey. But Edith is unaware of the dark secrets surrounding her, both outside Cavendish and within its walls, in the very rooms through which she walks.Eighty years have passed, and Elenore Stack has inherited her beloved childhood home, Cavendish Hall, from her recently deceased parents. Charming and magical, if in need of much loving and expensive care, Cavendish is woven into the tapestry of Elenore's life. She must somehow find a way to ensure its survival while preserving its dignity.Then she meets and falls in love with Donnacha O'Callaghan, a property developer, and together they begin to work on changing Cavendish into the family guest house of her dreams. He, however, unbeknownst to her, has plans that will change the house beyond recognition and wipe away her precious childhood memories.As Donnacha's past shady dealings surface and the prospect of losing Cavendish looms once more, Elenore's life begins to unravel. Then a fateful discovery in a forgotten corner of the house links her to a young woman from Cavendish's past - Edith Cavendish - and becomes her lifeline.
