About this ebook
First published in 1929, now public domain in the US, ''The Last September'' by Elizabeth Bowen is an account of coming-of-age on a great estate in Ireland just before independence, totally brilliant as a portrait of upper-class life, with its tennis parties, discreet servants, and do-nothing guests.
