Priscilla and Charybdis

"Priscilla and Charybdis: A Story of Alternatives" by Frank Frankfort Moore

Frank Frankfort Moore was an Irish journalist, novelist, dramatist, and poet. He was a Belfast Protestant and a unionist, but his historical fiction during the years of Home Rule agitation did not shy from themes of Irish-Catholic dispossession. This book captures his biting wit. A man who had previously tired of women has fallen in love, and no one can quite believe it. Not even the poor boy's mother.
