Ireland, 1744, and the young Catholic Richard O'Shaughnessy
embarks on a perilous journey to escape the harsh Penal Laws
and to fight for his country in France. En route he meets the rich
Philip Cantillon, and together they pursue their studies in Paris
with the intention of joining the Irish Brigade.
Left behind in Ireland is Richard's childhood sweetheart,
Ellen, whose fiery and determined nature leads her to travel to
the Cantillons, family home in Cognac in search of the man
she loves. But their reunion is scarcely as Ellen imagined, and
her encounter with the beautiful Catherine Cantillon proves
significant - even fateful - for all their lives and for generations
to come.
Steeped in the turbulent history and dramatic landscapes of
France and Ireland, The Moon is Red in April is a magnificent
saga of rivalry and passion that powerfully and movingly evokes
the restless spirit of 18th century Europe - and of a love that
couldn't be denied.
