Synopsis

House of Cards, originally published in 1940, delves into the explicable workings of the human heart. At the age of seventeen, Anne Farrelly leaves her hometown in the West of Ireland for England, eager for the adventure of education and the promise of a career to follow. In the decade that follows, Anne works up from a lowly position at a struggling English school to a directorship at an Italian firm’s Rome offices, all the while contending with the question of whether she must be married in order to find true fulfillment. Through every turn—romantic, tragic, or comedic—Curtayne presents the concrete difficulties, fraught decisions, and testing freedoms in the life of a young woman. Curtayne’s first foray into the realm of fiction, House of Cards is a debut novel worthy of serious consideration for its compelling dramatic arc as much as for its distinctive and credible protagonist: an ambitious young woman who may stand to lose more than she gains by her choices.
