Sinopsis

Excerpt from Interference, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel

The wide hilly street was lined by noble and imposing residences, that looked as if they had quitted country parks and pleasure grounds, and flocked together for company liberally planned gardens celebrated for fruit and roses - sloped away from French Windows at the rear of these mansions, to the very brink of a slow brown canalmonce glorified by fly boats galloping teams and gay passengers, but now abandoned to lethargic barges, bear ing freights of turf and manure. In the good old days the town was peopled by retired oflicers (naval and military), wealthy widows, and well-born spinsters, and actually numbered a baronet, and the brother of a Viscount among its tenants.

Excerpt from Interference, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel

The town of Ballingoole has always awakened a certain amount of respectful surprise in the minds of strangers; it is so amazingly unlike its name! According to tourists who wish to pay it an extravagant compliment, it actually recalls a line old English village, and, indeed, in its palmy days, Ballingoole would not have considered itself at all flattered by the comparison. Fifty years ago it was the stronghold of one of the most rigidly exclusive circles in the south of Ireland.
