INTRODUCING

Christina Holloway

Whispers Across A Sea is a compelling novel that traces three generations of Lucie’s Anglo-Irish family as they navigate the nuances of life in their adopted country of Ireland. Within the home, the family’s Irish servants make sure the lives of the Youngs remain comfortable while silently observing their employers’ detachment from the realities of life in Ireland—a country where a lengthy, violent, and divisive struggle is beginning. How long will the Youngs be able to close their eyes to the shifting world outside their door?

Based on a true story, Christina Holloway’s carefully researched and vividly imagined historical novel opens a window into Ireland in the late 1800s—a time of vast privilege, inequality, turmoil, and change.
