Evelyn Innes tells the story of an opera singer raised in a devoutly Catholic family who is seduced by two men—a wealthy baronet who makes her famous, and later, an Irish composer (a thinly disguised version of William Butler Yeats). A priest tries to convince Evelyn, tired of life as a mistress, to renounce her career as an opera singer in favor of the religious life.
About the author
George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was a pioneering modern Irish writer. He had to fight against censorship early in his career. Despite the powerful forces arrayed against him, Moore succeeded in establishing realism as a legitimate literary mode. His best-known novels include A Mummer’s Wife (1885) and Esther Waters (1894).
