Macdermots Of Ballycloran

Macdermots of Ballycloran

by Anthony Trollope

Set in 19th-century Ireland, *The Macdermots of Ballycloran* follows the decline of a once-proud landowning family, the Macdermots. Larry Macdermot struggles to maintain his dilapidated estate, burdened by a growing mortgage to the wealthy Joe Flannelly. The families are further divided by the animosity sparked when Thady, Larry's son, refuses to marry Sally, Joe Flannelly's daughter. Adding to the family's woes, Feemy, Larry's daughter, becomes entangled with Captain Myles Ussher, an unpopular English officer. Through these intertwined narratives, Trollope explores themes of class, social upheaval, and the consequences of unchecked ambition and misplaced trust.
