Some Experiences of an Irish R.M., by Edith Somerville and Martin Ross. Part II.

This is the first of three novels which Edith Somerville and her cousin Violet Martin wrote about the English Major Sinclair Yates who leaves the army to take up a position of Resident Magistrate in the West of Ireland in about 1895.

Miss Somerville was herself the first woman anywhere to become an M.F.H.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
