blurb:
The ambushes and burnings of the Irish Troubles of 1920 seem far removed as up at the 'Great House' tennis parties and dances continue to divert, and flirtations with English officers from the local garrison amuse. Yet a sense of brooding, nostalgic melancholy pervades--the sense of a tragedy to its climax in the calm, opulent sunlight of an Irish autumn.

This is one of the books by Elizabeth Bowen I haven't read yet.
I had forgotten what an excellent writer Elizabeth Bowen is. After reding this book I want to reread some of her other books I have.
