| 520 | _aThe handsome Brandons by Katharine Tynan is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in rural Ireland, it follows the proud but impoverished Brandon family—narrated by Hilda, the self-described “ugly duckling”—as they struggle to hold their ancestral home against the ruthless Sir Rupert De Lacy of Castle Angry. With Aline’s steadfast leadership, brother Pierce’s far-off wanderings, and the lives of siblings Esther, Hugh, Donald, and the twins, the story blends family fortunes, romance, and superstition against a vividly drawn landscape. The opening of the novel contrasts sunny Brandon Mountain with brooding Angry Mountain and sketches the long feud between the Brandons and the De Lacys, rooted in Sir Rupert’s trick that cost the Brandons a copper seam and their prosperity. Hilda recounts their genteel poverty in the decaying house, Aline’s quiet heroism, and Pierce’s departure with the famed explorer Mr. Desmond—followed by a mysterious quarrel and silence. A reckless day at Annagassan Races leaves Hilda badly injured when a borrowed car bolts; a kind young officer helps her, and Aline pays for her care by selling a treasured diamond collet. Freda’s swift courtship and happy marriage to Jim Hazeldine turns to grief when she is widowed, returning later with her little son amid tensions with Jim’s mother. As Aline keeps a nightly lamp burning in hope of Pierce’s return, Oona whispers of the banshee’s cry, and news arrives that Sir Rupert’s grandson has come to Castle Angry, sharpening the sense of danger to Brandon and those who love it.
