While on her last assignment with British Intellect in Morocco, the widowed Julia Probyn Jamieson fits and is strongly drawn to an Irish country lawyer or attorney, Gerald O'Brien, who is visiting with friends of hers. O'Brien has asked Julia to marry him but she delays her decision until he has satisfied her five-year-old child Philip, who is somewhat hard to handle. Young man and man try one another, and it becomes clear that Gerald will be an ideal stepfather. On his part, Gerald insists that she come to Ireland to see his modest home and meet his friends and neighbors before she accocunts for her brain, for his world is significantly not the same as the gorgeous cosmopolitan one she is accustomed to. Julia's quiet holiday is interrupted when she stumbles upon a plot by an anonymous land speculator who, with the unwitting help of an attractive American girl and an Irish poet, is surreptitiously buying a strip of land over the coast for the purpose of building a huge hotel hotel and gambling house. The intrepid Julia is used as a participant when she joins Gerald in his investigation of this devious scheme, which will destroy the outrageous beauty of the seacoast and disrupt the peace of the community. Ann Bridge (1889-1974), or Female Mary Dolling (Sanders) O'Malley was created in Hertfordshire. Bridge's books concern her activities of the English Foreign Office community in Peking, in China, where she lived for just two years with her diplomat spouse. Her novels combine courtship plots with vividly-realized settings and demure interpersonal satire. Bridge continued to write books around a significant investigation of modern historical trends. In the 1970s Bridge began to create thrillers devoted to a lady amateur detective, Julia Probyn, as well writing travel books and family memoirs. Her books were praised for his or her faithful representation of foreign countries that was right down to personal experience and comprehensive research.
