Random House, Inc.

In 1900 Lady Charlotte French-McGrath is mistress of Garonlea, a huge gothic house in Ireland. She rules her household and her family -- husband Ambrose and children Muriel, Enid, Violet, Diana and Desmond -- with a rod of iron. Desmond's marriage to the beautiful, lively Cynthia and, several years later, the onset of the First World War are the two events which finally, and irrevocably, break Lady Charlotte's matriarchal hold. Cynthia enters the Jazz Age and on the surface her life passes in a whirl of fox-hunting, drinking and love-making. 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.

Rising Tide

Formidable hostess, social charmer, and mother par excellence, Angel confidently awaits the return of her son from the trials of war. Tightening the apron strings as she does so, she could not anticipate that the teenager who went away will return a grown man ‹ world-weary, with a sophisticated American widow on his arm. Nor could she anticipate that her spirited daughter Slaney will similarly throw herself into romance. Faced with domestic insurrection on a grand scale, Angel will have to sharpen her wits to maintain her tyranny. And sharpen them she does.
