This is an interesting book, tackling the subject of the Irish gentry living in Great Britain. It’s something I’ve never considered before, and its nice to see the regency gentry from another angle to Austen, Burney etc. Plot is quite generic with cookie cutter characters apart from the mom as comic relief
