Book cover. "The Rising Tide" 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. This is, in fact, one of the numerous novels which Molly Keane published as Farrell and not under her own name. Now sixty years old, it seems to belong in spirit more to the Twenties than the Thirties and, predictably, has a Big House and Hunting Set background. Though I doubt if it is quite a masterpiece, it is psychologically sharp, socially knowing, and closely knit, obviously the work of an insider in this rather sealed-off, self-sufficient, Anglo-Irish world.
