The story of a house called Clodagh, and the family who made it their home. On the outskirts of Dublin stands an old stone house that has witnessed Ireland's transformation over 150 years. Within its walls, the Weldon women have loved, lost, and survived against the backdrop of a nation fighting for its identity. At the heart of this tale is Faith Weldon, a stubborn, sharp-witted woman who lives long enough to see her world turn upside down and right itself again. From the bloody risings for independence to the quiet battles fought in kitchens and bedrooms, Faith's journey mirrors Ireland's own struggle to define itself. This isn't just another family saga. It's about the spaces between what's said and what's kept silent, about the choices that echo through generations, and about how a house becomes more than just stone and timber. As men march off to revolutions and wars, the Weldon women keep Clodagh standing - sometimes barely, sometimes defiantly. Their triumphs aren't always grand, but they're hard-won and honest. Unflinching, intimate, and shot through with dark Irish humour, 'The Weldons' pulls you into a world where history isn't just something that happens in textbooks but at kitchen tables and on doorsteps.
