SUMMARY: Somerville and Ross ( Edith Somerville and Violet Florence Martin , writing under the name Martin Ross ) were an Anglo-Irish writing team, perhaps most famous for their series of books that were made into the TV series The Irish R.M. . The novel centers on disputes over land and property in a small Irish community. The title alludes to the biblical story of Naboth, whose vineyard was unjustly seized by King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, symbolizing greed and abuse of power. The plot follows tensions between Anglo-Irish landlords and Irish tenant farmers during a period of agrarian unrest. Several intertwined characters become involved in conflicts over inheritance, eviction, loyalty, romance, and political agitation linked to the Irish Land League. The novel portrays both the declining authority of the Protestant landlord class and the rising assertiveness of rural tenants. CONDITION: Very Good.
