Two Ladies from Boston Elizabeth Howard Hourihan First edition

Two Ladies from Boston is an upstairs/downstairs tale of two Irish maids who arrive in hostile Boston in 1920 to the homes of Gertrude Casey and Clementine Talbert. Gertrude and Clee meet through their music and form a friendship that survives Gertrudes marriage to political boss James Michael Hurley and Clees escapades. The story of two cultures, Two Ladies From Boston brings you on a wild ride through the thirties and forties, as Gertrude's husband is re-elected to office from jail and Clee is forced to flee the country for her young fling as a member of the communist party.
