Kellys And The O'Kellys

Kellys and the O'Kellys

by Anthony Trollope

Set in rural County Roscommon, Ireland, *Kellys and the O'Kellys* is a tale of intertwined families, tangled relationships, and social complexities. The story revolves around the Kelly family, who are struggling to maintain their status and land in the face of financial hardship. The O'Kelly family, their neighbors, are equally entangled in a web of financial troubles and personal desires. As tensions rise, jealousy and ambition fuel a conflict that culminates in an attempt on the life of one of the characters. Through humor and tragedy, Trollope explores the themes of social class, land ownership, and the challenges of life in rural Ireland during the 19th century.
