A Quiet Tide by Marianne Lee ✓ In Stock

At the time of her death in 1815, twenty-nine-year-old Ellen Hutchins had catalogued over a thousand species of seaweed and plants from her native Bantry Bay. Ireland's first female botanist, Ellen was a major contributor to nineteenth-century scientific discovery. And yet, like so many brilliant women lost in history, it is her personal story that will resonate today. In her remarkable debut novel, Marianne Lee fuses fact with fiction to imagine Ellen's rich but tormented inner life, repressed by the gender and class confines of her time. Unmarried, childless and sickly, Ellen is considered an 'unsuccessful' woman, dutifully bound to her family's once grand and isolated estate, Ballylickey House. Still, she glimpses a happiness and autonomy she can never quite articulate as she reaches for meaning and expression, until the eruption of a long-simmering family feud and the rise of Ellen's own darkness - her 'quiet tide' - will conspire to destroy her fragile future. A Quiet Tide is a life examined, a heart-breaking, inspiring story that at last captures the essence and humanity of a long-forgotten Irishwoman. ISBN 9781848408586

Kevin Good (1928-Sept 2015) ✓ In Stock

Joe Good was born in the city of London. In adulthood he was active in the republican movement there and got to know Michael Collins. He was in the GPO in 1916, was arrested and sent to Frongoch in North Wales. Following his release at Christmas 1916, he became active in the IRA and after Independence he joined the Free State Army and was commissioned as a Lieutenant. Later in life he worked as an electrician, and later still at the Royal College of Surgeons. Kevin Good explains that the Good family was active in the Gaelic League, the IRA and in other organisations focussed on Irish nationalism. Prior to the Rising, Joe Good travelled to Ireland from London with Michael Collins, Ernie Nunan and Johnny ‘Blimey’ O’Connor. Kevin’s late brother, Maurice Good, has written about their father’s activities. Joe Good and his friends believed in the democratic right of the Irish people to freedom, and Kevin recalls his father talking about his beliefs and of his dislike of empires. His love of nature and gardening is remembered. Kevin discusses his aunts Kate, Annie Rose and Mary, all of whom were republicans. Joe was a member of the Kimmage Garrison, and Kevin discusses his view that the men of 1916 were realists who knew that they were up against the might of the British Empire. Kevin speaks about the later compromise not accepted by some of his father’s friends, though Joe Good saw the Treaty as a step towards complete freedom from the Empire. Kevin describes his father as an honest man who was disciplined and frugal by nature. He remarks that Joe had seen corruption in Europe and did not trust politicians. He is recalled as a man of great modesty who loved Ireland whole-heartedly. After his father’s discharge from the Irish Army he worked around the country as a journeyman electrician on rural electrification. Kevin speaks about the Irish culture and tradition in their home when he was young. Joe Good’s attitude to de Valera and the people who adopted the anti-Treaty sid
