A review by cnyreader
Castle Rackrent by Maria Edgeworth

3.0

At just under 100 pages, this book is a little jaunt through the history of an Irish town and it's succession of landlords, as told by one of the servants of the household. Apparently, this novel is significant because of the time of it was published and because it brought attention to the conflict between the classes in Ireland, a different perspective from the religious conflict. Easily readable, this book is more interesting historically than as remarkable literature.

Food: a pint of ale in a cozy pub with a good friend. This story is something you sit down and hear as if from an old-timer who knows how to spin a good yarn.
