Ulick's Daughter

More about the book

Eva Dillon, the illegitimate daughter of Ulick John de Burgh, 14th Earl of Clanricarde, is proud of her noble lineage, but her status in society is far from secure. After Ulick's death leaves her and her mother with nothing, his second son, Hubert, inherits the vast estates in County Galway and is determined to evict them. Faced with the loss of her home, Eva seeks revenge on her brother and aims to reclaim her rightful legacy. Her journey leads her to meet intrepid journalist Dan Fahy, who encourages her to move to Dublin, and wealthy Russian Sasha Pobedonostsev, who introduces her to a life of luxury and Russian high society. As Eva navigates this opulent world, she grapples with her longing for belonging and the haunting secrets of her past. Set in nineteenth-century Ireland and Russia, this enthralling tale follows one woman's quest for self-discovery and the truth about her origins. Joy Martin, born in Limerick, has a rich background in journalism, having worked for Dublin’s Evening Press and the Zambia Broadcasting Corporation, and is the acclaimed author of several works.
