'I am completely blown away by this series...Simply outstanding.' Book Reviews for U, book reviewer
This single paperback volume contains the first, second and third books in Susie Murphy's historical fiction series A Matter of Class.
Society said they shouldn't fall in love...
A Class Apart: It's 1828, and Ireland is in turmoil as Irish tenants protest against their upper-class English landlords. Spirited Bridget Muldowney, a landowner's daughter, and loyal Cormac McGovern, a stable hand's son, once ran wild around the country estate as childhood friends. But now that they're adults, Bridget's overbearing mother is determined to enforce the employer-servant boundaries between them and plots to keep them apart. With the odds stacked against them, can Bridget and Cormac's childhood attachment blossom into something more?
They never thought they'd see each other again...
A Class Entwined: Trapped in distressing circumstances, Bridget and Cormac must each seek courage within themselves to do what they can to survive. In the face of unspeakable struggles, they discover that fate can act in the most unexpected of ways.
His past could destroy their future...
A Class Forsaken: As they confront the consequences of Bridget's embittered mother's actions, Bridget and Cormac must also come to terms with an agonising choice between family and duty. And when their loved ones are endangered, will the threat be great enough to crush the hopeful future they have envisioned together?
The story continues in the fourth book in the series, A Class Coveted.
