Description: The Tenants of Time By Thomas Flanagan E.P. Dutton New York 1988 Dust jacket adds; A Novel by the Author of The Year of the French A William Abrahams Book. [8], 824 p.; 24 cm. (9.5 inches). Off-white cloth spine, with gilt-stamped spine title, light blue paper over boards. Glossy black, white, and blue dust jacket. Includes The Characters. First Edition, Fourth Printing "The latter half of the nineteenth century; Ireland, England, America – the sweep is epic, yet the effect, page by page, is to create a telling intimacy. One believes in these tenants of time. The powerful and the humble, the rich and the dispossessed – they have an unforgettable life here, in and beyond fiction. . . . The action evolves in a complex web that takes us into the vast estates of the aristocracy, peasant cottages, sleepy market towns, Dublin, London, the immigrants’ New York and Chicago. But the web begins in Kilpeder, the seat of the Earls of Ardmor, where three friends–Hugh MacMahon, Robert Delaney, and Edward Nolan–are among the sixty young men who take part in the Rising there: an advance on the headquarters of the Royal Constabulary and a retreat to Clonbrony Wood and surrender. But the experience of that single day, from dawn to nightfall, seals a bond between the three friends that determines the course of their lives" [from the dust jacket] ISBN: 0525246193 Book is in Very Good Plus Condition: pages tight, clean, and unmarked; very slight age-toning.
