Figgis also touches on the political climate of Ireland at the time, with references to the Home Rule movement and the tensions between the Irish and British.Overall, Broken Arcs is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of two sisters and the challenges they face in a society that values conformity above all else.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
