Love this endorsement from a novelist I admire. Thank you @histwriter.bsky.social #historicalfiction #Irishwriting
This stunning novel of 18thC Ireland entwines joy and tragedy, as a tender and passionate love grows ever deeper in defiance of an unjust society. #TheBalladofMaryKearney #historicalfiction #historicalnovel www.amazon.co.uk/Ballad-Mary-...

Love this book so much and so proud to have been involved in the audio version. 💚 #hagstone #irishwriting #readwomen
