Ilustration Toward Books The Yellow House

A historical fiction book about Northern Ireland in the early 1900's during all the religious tensions around the Irish Revolution. Eileen, our heroin, loses her family in the beginning of the novel and works hard to reestablish herself and find security. I loved Eileen and how stubborn and passionate she is through out the book. I honestly thought this would be a simple love story but it really goes deeper than that to Eileen's own questions of identity and loyalty. Not that much time is really even spent on the relationship between her and James or her and Owen. There's a lot more about the cultural shifts and Eileen struggling to understand how to reconcile what happened to her family with her own identity and how she feels about those that fall outside of it. The beginning of the story was a little slow but it does pick up and if you stick with it it's worth it.

This does sound good and my library has the digital audiobook.Thanks for your review.

I should have loved this book. I am really into the time period it is set in (1914-1920) and I love kind of epic, sweeping stories like this. But I finished the book feeling very disappointed. There are too many side characters that don't mean anything or that have no real bearing on the story. Many of them could have been left out. On top of that, none of the characters are particularly likable. The heroine, Eileen, is not much of a heroine and she has a ridiculous mouth. The language in this

Rereading this for March group read - The Novel Ideas. March 2014.Theres never a dull moment in Patricia Falveys debut novel, The Yellow House. Northern Ireland in the revolutionary period of the early 1900s almost becomes a character in this novel weaving intrigue, romance, politics and family love. The reader will feel a part of this tiny Irish village within a few pages. Ms. Falveys narrative and dialogue deftly fill in the history and back stories to her plot. The novel is so well

Great read, beautifully written (loved the Irish brogue!) This story is of a young Northern Irish woman who, inheriting a legacy of warriors, must come to terms with the burdens that legacy carries and find the strength within her that it brings. Spanning twenty years of her life, the book recounts Eileen O'Neill's struggles with the difficulties that come with war (both WWI; the Irish War of Independence) and poverty, including the loss of her family to murder, mental illness and hatred. In the

My Irish heritage has clearly been calling to me recently as this makes the third book dealing with this period of revolt and revolution in the first couple of decades of the 20th century that I have read in the past year, all of which have combined to serve as an education for much of the political unrest in that region. Since the English stripped the land away from so many of the Irish in the 19th century, the love of the land became a passionate cause for many native Irish as it did for

Set in early 20th century Northern Ireland, the novel begins when Eileen O'Neill's family is torn apart at the death of her father. The family is split up - her mother winds up in a mental institution and young Eileen is forced to work in the mill. The Yellow House does a wonderful job examining the politics and social consequences of religious discrimination as well as Northern Ireland's struggle to maintain it's identity after the English forced a population shift from native Irish to English

Eileen ONeill, the books central character, is loosely based on the authors grandmother.If the 20th century conflict between the Protestants and the Catholics in Northern Ireland interests you, read this book. Clear historical facts are woven into a moving, captivating story. It puts you there, living in Ulster, during the first quarter of the century.
