About this listen

 Join Major Sinclair Yates, a recently discharged army officer, as he embarks on a new adventure in the enchanting yet challenging landscape of 1890s West Ireland. In this delightful first novel co-authored by Edith Somerville and her cousin Violet Martin, we witness Yates humorous escapades as he navigates the complexities of his role as a Resident Magistrate. With his spirited landlord and neighbor, Mr. ‘Flurry’ Knox—whose heart lies solely in hunting—Yates journey is filled with amusing encounters and cultural clashes. Notably, Miss Somerville made history as the first woman to become a Master of Foxhounds (M.F.H.), adding an intriguing layer to this charming tale. (Summary by A.J.M.)
