Gambler

by Katherine Cecil Thurston

An 18-year-old Irish woman named Clodagh must defend her family's honor when her father's gambling addiction leads to tragedy. She marries a much older man and travels to Europe, where she experiences both the glamour and the emptiness of high society. Throughout her journey, Clodagh battles with her own emotions and the Asshlin curse that burdens her family.
