About the Author
Molly Keane, born in Ireland in 1904, was a prolific novelist and playwright whose sharp wit and keen observation of upper-class society captivated readers throughout the 20th century. Under the pseudonym M.J. Farrell, she penned her early works, drawing from her own experiences in the Anglo-Irish gentry to explore themes of love, loss, and the crumbling facades of privilege. Keane's narratives often blend humor with poignant social commentary, revealing the tensions beneath polished exteriors. Later in life, she continued to write under her own name, earning acclaim for her elegant prose and unflinching portrayals of human frailty. Her enduring legacy lies in her ability to illuminate the intricacies of family dynamics and societal expectations with grace and insight, influencing generations of readers and writers alike.
