Shadow of a Century

By Jean Grainger

From the author of So Much Owed, winner of Authors Choice Best Historical Fiction Award 2016 A broken woman, New York, 2016. A fearless rebel, Dublin 1916. And a gripping story that spans a century. During a time of great upheaval and unrest in Ireland, as men and women run to take up arms against the tyranny and occupation of the British Empire, the lives of three women are forever altered, and thereby inextricably linked over the span of a century. Mary Doyle arrives in Dublin in 1913, doomed, she fears, to a life of domestic service. Instead, however, she finds herself deeply affected by the social and political turmoil of a fledgling nation struggling for independence. Suddenly, all that was once inevitable is no longer a certainty as she is embroiled in the very heart of the Easter Rising. Scarlett O’Hara has had many hurdles to cross in her life, not least her name.
