The Big House
(Contemporary novel set in rural Ireland and London)
Note: “The big house” was the colloquial term for one of the grand, “Downton Abbey--styled” mansions left behind from Ireland’s colonial days.
John McHugh, a wealthy expatriate developer, buys and starts to refurbish the village's Downton-Abbey-styled house in a remote Irish village.
John’s purchase incites a pitched battle between the village’s native and newly arrived residents and between those who want to forget or remember Ireland’s colonial past.
His purchase also sparks his reluctant romance with Susan, the English-born great granddaughter of the house's last Colonial-era land agent.
The Big House is now out of print, though some used copies are available through Amazon.
