1949

Set in 1949, Morgan Llywelyn's "Irish Century" continues the story of Ireland’s turbulent quest for independence, focusing on Ursula Halloran, a fiercely independent woman coming of age in the 1920s and beyond. Amidst the backdrop of a repressive Catholic state, economic hardship, and the looming threat of war, Ursula's personal and professional life is marked by resilience and defiance of societal norms. Her journey takes her from working in radio and international organizations to navigating complex relationships and personal sacrifices during a time of profound upheaval for Ireland.
