Elizabeth fights to keep her family alive after a sudden loss. Outside, a rent strike led by a charismatic priest is escalating into open rebellion against the Crown.
Set in Youghal, 1887, Life, Death & Rotten Landlordism echoes today’s world: extortionate rents, absentee landlords, and ordinary people pushed to the brink.
At its heart, this is the story of an Irish mother under extraordinary pressure; woven through parish gossip, political uprising, heartbreak, and humour.
The novel explores how extraordinary courage can be both private and public. It honours the unsung women whose quiet acts of bravery helped shape Ireland’s future.
