The Knight of Gwynne, Vol. 2 (of 2)
The Knight of Gwynne is the story of one man's stubborn refusal to sell his soul. Maurice Darcy, the beloved Irish gentleman known as the Knight of Gwynne, is a cultivated man whose very nature radiates Irishry. He is a leader of public opinion in an era of staggering political corruption, when three powerful men forming Dublin's new Government realize he might align with the opposition. They will pay any price to secure his support. But Darcy has a price that cannot be met: his integrity. As he sets out to visit Miss Daly, their shared past rises like a ghost from a purer time, and Darcy confronts how much both their lives have changed. Lever paints a vivid picture of mid-19th-century Ireland, where a gentleman's honor collides with the ugly machinery of political compromise. The novel moves between moments of sharp social commentary and tender nostalgia for youth and former glories, all set against the coastal landscape that mirrors the solitary turbulence of the heart.
