Synopsis

“Whispers Across A Sea” is a compelling novel that traces three generations of Lucie’s Anglo-Irish family as they navigate the nuances of life in their adopted country of Ireland. Within the home, the family’s Irish servants make sure the lives of the Youngs remain comfortable while silently observing their employers’ detachment from the realities of life in Ireland—a country where a lengthy, violent, and divisive struggle is beginning. How long will the Youngs be able to close their eyes to the shifting world outside their door?

Using family artifacts including diaries, letters, and mementos, Christina Holloway’s carefully researched historical novel opens a window into Ireland in the late 1800’s—a time of vast privilege, inequality, turmoil and change.
