The novel follows the story of a family who are caught up in the conflict and are boycotted by their neighbors due to their refusal to join the Land League, a political organization advocating for tenant rights.The main character of the story is a young girl named Norah, who is trying to navigate the difficult situation her family finds themselves in. She is torn between her loyalty to her family and her sympathy for the poor tenants who are struggling to survive. Norah’s father, a wealthy landowner, is determined to hold onto his property and refuses to give in to the demands of the Land League. As a result, his family becomes isolated and ostracized from their community.Throughout the novel, Norah struggles to find a way to bridge the divide between her family and the tenants. She forms a friendship with a young boy named Denis, whose family is one of the most affected by the boycott. Together, they try to find a way to bring peace to their community and end the conflict.A Boycotted Household is a powerful and moving story that explores the themes of loyalty, family, and social justice. It provides a vivid portrayal of the Land War and the impact it had on the people of Ireland.
