The first Ellen is a Carmelite nun, born near Skibbereen in Ireland during the Great Hunger. The second Ellen is a New Age convert of the 1970's and 1980's, born in the arid western suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales. The emotional centre of gravity is their Irish Catholicism; and the book moves back and forth between eras that link their personal lives with the issues of land rights and Republicanism in Ireland and Australia. Each section begins with a stanza of Irish poetry.<br /><br />-WhitpoullsPhilomenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945140914460958710noreply@blogger.com
