Dreams of other days
Elaine Crowley1984

When Katy O'Donnell marries handsome, swaggering hard-drinking Jamsie O'Hara she is as fresh and filled with dreams as her mistress, Catherine Kilgoran, marrying in silk and lace up at the big house. But dreams and reality are sometimes a world apart...
Dreams of other days is the story of two families whose fortunes are inextricably linked, and of a small, close-knit Irish community bound together by tradition and by tragedy. It is also a tender and truthful portrayal of marrige and of woman whose indomitable spirit remains unbowed.
