The Willow Tree of Tullamaine

The Willow Tree of Tullamaine tells the story of Caitlin Donovan, a sixteen-year old, Irish tenant-farmer's daughter. Her only ambition is to marry Dillon Banion and raise a family with him in Tullamaine, a small village tucked into the hills of Wicklow, but she becomes enmeshed in the tangle of Anglo and Celt, Protestant and Catholic, faerie and mortal that is Ireland. She is forced to take a path not of her choosing. The novel explores the moral dilemmas that occur in a politically charged atmosphere, dilemmas no less relevant today than they were in 1892 Ireland. It is also a story about the persistence of the human impulse to love.
