Ulick's Daughter Kindle Edition

by Joy Martin (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 31 ratings
Unravelling the secrets of the past …

Eva Dillon, the illegitimate daughter of Ulick John de Burgh, 14th Earl of Clanricarde, is fiercely proud of her noble lineage.

But while she may be the daughter of a nobleman, Eva has not inherited her father’s status in society. And her illusions are soon shattered when Ulick dies, leaving Eva and her mother with nothing.

It is Ulick’s second son, Hubert, who inherits Ulick’s vast estates in County Galway, and he is determined to throw out any non-paying tenants – including Eva and her mother.

And when Eva and her mother are evicted from their home, Eva is not only determined to seek revenge on her brother, but also to claim her rightful legacy and place in society.

In her efforts, she will cross paths with intrepid journalist, Dan Fahy, whose encouragement leads her to move to Dublin, as well as wealthy Russian Sasha Pobedonostsev, who introduces Eva to a life of glittering wealth and the world of Russian high society.

But amidst the opulence and glamour, will Eva ever find the sense of belonging that she craves? And will she manage to break free of the secrets of her past that have been haunting her for years?

Set in nineteenth-century Ireland and Russia, Ulick’s Daughter is an enthralling and passionate tale of one woman’s quest for self-discovery and desire to uncover the truth about her past.

Joy Martin was born in Limerick. She trained as a journalist and worked on Dublin’s Evening Press, then moved to writing news for the Zambia Broadcasting Corporation and the BBC Home and External Services. She has broadcast in Ireland, Zambia, South Africa and Britain. She is the acclaimed author of A Wrong to Sweeten and The Moon is Red in April.

    I enjoyed reading Ulick's Daughter and wondered which man she would finally be happy with. Colorful characters and rich descriptions of the countryside. Recommend for lovers of Irish stories.

    Travelling from rural County Galway in the days of cruel absentee landlords and brutal evictions to the Court of the last Russian Tsars, this follows a young woman's journey from childhood fantasy to a hard won mature reality. The main character's obsession and self-serving behaviors annoyed me so I guess the writer got the message across! Worthwhile reading, if only to show more of the history of Ireland.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting then blah.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2017

    Ireland then Russia, then England and Ireland once more. This book promised so much and I was really looking forward to finding out more about Ireland's and Russia's struggles at the end of the 19th century. There was so much potential which just seemed to whither and die. The story started so well, but then stuttered, a rags to riches tale, which didn't really achieve anything, except possibly the fact she got the right man eventually.
