Book cover. "Young Entry" by Molly Keane.
Molly Keane (20 July 1904 – 22 April 1996), née Mary Nesta Skrine, and who also wrote as M. J. Farrell, was an Irish novelist and playwright. In "Young Entry", Prudence, at nineteen, is reckless, laughing, wild; the despair of her elderly guardians. With her best friend, the subversive but very female Peter, she rackets round the Irish countryside among her beloved horses and dogs. But she feels betrayed by Peter’s growing interest in the new Master of Hounds, ‘Saxon’ Major Anthony Countless. And what is Prudence to make of handsome Toby Sage, neighbour, huntsman and accredited flirt? Or of an inexplicable haunting? First published in 1928, this high-spirited novel with its subtle erotic undercurrents, is a glorious story of a ramshackle, tolerant society and of Prudence’s turbulent coming of age.
