Without My Cloak
by: O'Brien, Kate

Hardcover. NY, Doubleday Doran & Company, 1933, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, green cloth stamped in dark green and white, 469 pages. Irish descendants of a horse thief sacrifice love and freedom for position and security in Victorian period. Woodcuts by Freda Bone. When Anthony Considine creeps into Mellick town with a stolen horse in 1789, it sets the destiny of his family for decades to come. By the 1850s, through thrift and hard work, his son Honest John has made the Considines a leading Mellick family. In turn, his son Anthony builds a fine house in the country for his wife and children--most especially for his adored son Dennis. Little does he know that when Dennis grows up he will threaten the toil of generations with his love for a peasant girl. A stirring family saga of divided loyalties and individual freedom; of matches made and lost; and of the constraints of religion and family pride. Clean copy.
