Description

The New York Times–bestselling saga: In nineteenth-century Ireland, a titled English family keeps an estate in an era of famine and violent conflict.
 When Edward de Salis travels to America after the death of his first wife, he is astonished to find himself falling in love with Marguerite, a young woman many years his junior. Full of hope for the future, he returns to his Irish estate, Cashelmara, but in nineteenth-century Ireland—a country racked by poverty and famine—his family eventually becomes trapped in a sinister spiral of violence that Edward could never have foreseen. Cashelmara follows the fortunes of three generations as they struggle to survive both the tragedies of history and their own chaotic lives. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Susan Howatch including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

    Interesting story beautifully written. Told by different people, the story flowed nicely from one character account to the next. I like that the different characters stories were chronological. I really enjoyed this and recommend it
  • One of my most favorite reads!

    Read Cashelmara many years ago, at least thirty or more, and Susan Howatch became my favorite author. This must be a re-publishing. The story, characters, writing..I couln’t put it down. Pennmaric is good too.

    I would stay up all night reading this book and not realize how many hours had flown by. It made my jaw drop over and over. I cried and laughed. I would find myself thinking about the characters throughout my day. It was an amazingly entertaining book as they usually are from Susan Howatch.
  • Fabulous!

    I could not put it down. What a gifted writer. Her style of giving the perspective of different key characters lures you in until you feel a personal connection with each of them.
