In the summer of 1931, Susie Rowley travels to Ireland with her cousin, a friend, and the undoubtable Eliza Willey Walker. Eliza convinces the band of Yankee scholars to investigate the wreck of her grandfather’s ship, the Alfred D. Snow. When Susie falls for Hugh Larkin, a medical student from County Wexford, their quest takes a detour. Later, she returns to Dublin and takes a job at the national library working for Dr. Richard Hayes. The librarian is soon drafted by Irish military intelligence, and Susie, a gifted linguist, is asked to join him to catch a German spy. As war engulfs their world, Yankee and Irish families alike demonstrate the power of love and the enduring value of Irish timber. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/south-portland/an-afternoon-with-irene-m-drago/100001987328564233 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: South Portland - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: Books-A-Million - **lat**: 43.636048 - **long**: -70.3332157 - **full address**: Books-A-Million, 430 Gorham Road, South Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Afternoon with Irene M.
