The Hand That First Held Mine

“An incredible feat of a book. Felt like reading a history book but from the eyes of people who lived it. I miss the characters and the place- might need to go back to west Ireland again soon.”

“Such an incredible book - Irish countryside, magic, family saga! Written so beautifully. I think this might be her best book yet.”

“19th century Ireland. Family. Roots. Place. Landscape. Resilience. Heartbreak. Love.”

“Sweeping heartbreaking prose. Absolutely gorgeous”

“This book is a treasure…the detailed descriptions of nature, the deep connections between people and their surroundings (and each other), and the layered story over time. Please read!”
