The Ward of the Castle

Set against the backdrop of post-famine Ireland, this audiobook follows the intertwined lives of four young people as they navigate love, friendship, and betrayal over two decades. Laoise Hogan, an orphan bearing letters from her mother, confronts her past upon arriving in Dublin, while Phelan McCrohan and his cousin Pearl leave their sheltered island for new opportunities. Their paths converge at Dromoland Castle, where political turmoil looms, and they must grapple with their evolving relationships and the weight of their histories.
