When Francis Hagarty explodes into their lives, however, everything changes for the worse. Fran is a journalist and gunrunner and hides a shipment of smuggled arms in the Shamrock. Gowry discovers them and, sensing danger, is furious. But Sylvie has fallen in love with Fran and is soon swept into an illicit affair. Trapped in a tangle of subversion that he has resisted all his life, Gowry is forced to flee Dublin and become caught up in the war in Europe. Eventually, the family's future hangs on heartbreaking choices any one of which may lead to tragedy for all of them.

About the Author:
Born in Glasgow, Jessica Stirling is the author of many heartwarming novels, most of which have Scottish backgrounds. She has enjoyed a highly successful career since The Spoiled Earth was published in 1974.
From Booklist:
In this continuation of The Piper's Tune [BKL Mr 15 02], Sylvie and Gowry McColloch and their daughter, Maeve, are leading simple lives on the eve of World War I in Dublin when the fight for Irish freedom comes to their doorstep in the form of illegal guns brought by Gowry's father and brothers. Gowry wants no part of it, but Sylvie supports the cause, as does their daughter. The leader, Francis Hagarty, enchants Sylvie. The former professor and journalist is a smooth-talking moneyman for the Irish Brotherhood who has a reputation for womanizing, and they embark on an affair that feeds Sylvie's nationalist fervor and love of excitement. Upstanding Gowry is harassed by the police and forced to confront his wife's affair. The odd man out, he joins the British army and heads to France. Both husband and wife find life increasingly difficult as Stirling's somber tale dramatizes the hardships endured by the Irish and their opponents in the battle for independence. Patty Engelmann
