"The Macdermots of Ballycloran" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written between 1843-1845. Trollope's debut work chronicles a Catholic landowning family's tragic downfall in Protestant-dominated Ireland. Thady Macdermot struggles to save his mortgaged estate while family tensions mount. 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.
