Description

This book is set in mid-Victorian Dublin, and the Shaw's lives read like a comedy of manners. As 'Anglo-Irish' gentlefolk, George Carr Shaw and his wife belonged to a small and exclusive social group, and genteel snobbery shaped much of their outlook. But Mr Shaw's weaknesses and Mrs Shaw's passion for music gave their lives an unusual pattern. The Shaw household was a peculiar one in which to grow up, perhaps the reason why one of their children, George Bernard Shaw, turned out to be a genius.
