"William Quinton, a young Irishman who survived the 1918 'troubles, ' fell in love with a beautiful English cousin. Not until fifty years later did he learn that they have a child." *** "Willie Quinton lives with his Protestant family and is shockingly thrown into the violence of the Irish 'Troubles' in 1918. With the sudden death of his father and siblings through an act of terrorism, he is brought up by a maid, Josephine, while his mother becomes a hopeless alcoholic and finally a suicide. He meets a cousin, Marianne, with whom he has a brief love affair. When she learns she is pregnant she tries to find Willlie but he has exiled himself because he has committed a crime of vengeance. Although the couple is finally united after long years of separation their happiness is marred."

Condition Descriptions
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
