59. Castle Rackrent by Maria Edgeworth

I shouldn't leave it so long between finishing the book and writing the blog, I had to resort to '1001 Books' to remind myself of the plot.  The story of the gradual decline of the Rackrent family is told by Thady Quirk, the steward.  It's not very flattering about the Irish squirocracy.
