Résumé
Whispers Across a Sea is a sweeping novel that follows three generations of the Anglo-Irish Young family in Victorian Ireland, where Irish desire for independence from Britain is building. How will the family evolve in the ever-changing social and political landscape of the country they call home? In 1920, Ireland stands on the brink of civil war. Lucie returns to her familial home to settle the estate, where she uncovers an abundance of handwritten letters-a lifetime's worth of cherished memories and guarded secrets between her mother and aunts-as well as her grandfather's diary.
As she reads through her findings, Lucie begins to wonder just how well she knew her relatives and the circumstances of their lives. Norah, a close childhood friend and the daughter of a former family servant, helps her work through the notes, and their conversations remind Lucie that she and Norah live in very different worlds. Norah is Irish; Lucie is Anglo-Irish. As the two women look into the past, it becomes evident that Norah has always known more about Lucie's life than Lucie has ever understood of Norah's.
And Lucie realizes that she has been unaware of the disquiet in Ireland's streets-but then again, the elder members of her family, so completely involved in their own lives, didn't appear to notice either.
