"w. Maggie Smith, Michale Gambon, Jane Birkin, Fiona Shaw, Lambert Wilson, Keely Hawes" -from Collector's description.,NNCU-C

"In 1920, at their country home in County Cork, Sir Richard Naylor and his wife, Lady Myra, and their friends maintain a skeptical attitude toward the events going on around them, but behind the facade of tennis parties and army camp dances, all know that the end is approaching-- the end of British rule in the south of Ireland and, with it, the demise of a way of life that had survived for centuries. Their ward, Lois Farquar, attempts to live her own life and gain her freedom from the dying class her elders vainly defend. The Last September depicts the tensions between love and the longing for freedom, between tradition and the terrifying prospect of independence-- political, sexual, and spiritual."--Page 4 of cover.
