"Dunraven House"


"Almost A Lifetime"
John McMahon's first novel, Dunraven House is a love story within a love story, set in Ireland in the late 1800's. Spanning 80 years, the characters are vividly depicted and we find ourselves embroiled in the lives of Patrick and Sally, who dream of a future together as they hold hands on the moonlit O'Connell bridge in Dublin over swirling waters. Threads of cruelty and love, goodness and evil, humour and tenacious human spirit, weave together as the lives of master and servant, lovers and enemies, child and parent, intertwine us in a riveting tale with a surprise ending.

ISBN: 0-9731509-0-4
Humour, adventure, romance, laughter, Almost A Lifetime is a compelling page turner. John McMahon's mesmerizing biographical tale is at once engulfing and captivating. An unknown woman makes all of the difference between survival and death as a young man's spring time journey is engulfed in flames and becomes a terrible trek through a snowy  landscape in the frozen winter of 1945. A profound testimony to the resiliance of the human spirit, this book has found its way into the hearts of multitudes as thousands of letters to the author testify.
