The authors of oral literature in the Pashtun language create their work at a far remove from any books. Generally deprived of the support of schools and universities, their compositions are inseparable from song. Their poetry is never declaimed; rather, their rhyme and rhythm have melodic value.

β¦ Synopsis
Her life was mapped out ahead of her. But love and war will change everythingβ¦
Kitty Deverill was born on the ninth day of the ninth month of 1900. The youngest daughter of the aristocratic Anglo-Irish Deverill dynasty living in the south-west of Ireland, her life will unfold as history plays out in her home country.
Though young, her future is already determined: marriage to an English lord, quiet subservience, and a life away from home. But Kitty has ideas of her own and chooses her friends according to their personality not their position, and when the ruggedly handsome son of the local vet, Jack O'Leary, catches her eye, her future starts to feel less like a privilege and more like a prison.
With her red hair she is passionate and feisty, her heart pure and mind set. But as war comes and the family's position in Ireland becomes less certain, will she follow her head or her heart?
