Synopsis

Robinswood Estate, County Waterford, Ireland. 1946. Years of neglect and abandonment have left the family seat of the Keneficks almost derelict, but the new Lord Kenefick and his charming young wife Kate are determined to breathe life into the old house once more. The war is over, and they have survived, so now they must set about making a bright future for themselves and their family. But the shadows of the past are ever lurking, and there are many who are not willing to see the new Lady Kenefick as anything more than the housekeeper's daughter. Kate’s family, the Murphys, find themselves once more inextricably entwined with both the Keneficks and Robinswood, but this time everything is different—or at least they hope it is. The legacy of the war cannot be erased, and the events of those fateful years will not be forgotten. Can Robinswood provide a haven for those who need it, or are the scars of the past too deep?

Goodreads review by Pam

Return To Robinswood: An Irish Family Saga is by Jean Grainger. As usual, Jean Grainger turns out a page turner deluxe. Her continuation of the story of the Murphy and Kenefick families was one that was eagerly awaited. The wait was well worth it. The story takes place in Ireland in 1946. The war is......more

This is the second in the Robinswood Family saga and another interesting light read with historical interest. It touched on the Irish Civil War and its aftermath and the role of the IRA, Britain and Ireland in World War 2; and all this against the background of class: British aristocrats and the Iri......more
