''An Irish Cousin'' is a novel written by Edith Somerville, an Irish author. The story revolves around the life of a young English woman named Anna Macnamara who visits her Irish relatives in County Cork. Anna is a well-educated and well-bred woman who is fascinated by the Irish way of life. She becomes friends with her cousin Maud, who is a typical Irish girl, full of life and energy. The two girls embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the Irish countryside and learning about the customs and traditions of the Irish people. Along the way, Anna falls in love with her cousin’s friend, the handsome and charming Captain Carden. However, their love is threatened by the social and cultural differences between the English and Irish, as well as the political unrest of the time. The novel is a charming and witty portrayal of Irish life and culture, and a poignant love story that transcends cultural barriers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
