"The Macdermots of Ballycloran" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written between 1843-1845.

When his sister becomes involved with a hated British officer, a fateful confrontation leads to violence, trial, and devastating consequences. Set before Ireland's Great Famine, the novel captures a vanishing world of sectarian conflict
and social upheaval. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
