Summary

A riotous, enthralling portrait of leisured life at the family home of Garonlea in the early years of the century

The Rising Tide Summary

The Rising Tide by Molly Keane

One glorious gothic mansion - Garonlea - and two rather different ladies who would be Queen . . .

Lady Charlotte French-McGrath has successfully ruled over her family with a rod of iron until the arrival of Cynthia: beautiful, young, talented, selfish - and engaged to her son Desmond.

When Cynthia enters the Jazz Age, on the surface her life passes in a whirl of hunting, drinking and romance. But the ghosts of Garonlea are only biding their time: they know the source of their power, a secret handed on from one generation to the next.

The Rising Tide Reviews

Molly Keane ... is robust about sinful human nature and the intrigues of the heart... * V.S. Pritchett *
Psychologically sharp, socially knowing and closely knit * IRISH TIMES *
The characterisation of women is first class * Sebastian Faulks *
She is akin to Jane Austen in her feeling for the minutae of human behaviour * Polly Devlin *

About Molly Keane
