Produktbeschreibung

Does she hail from a matriarchal lineage of madwomen?

Or an ancestry of female power and purpose?

Norah's life and novelist career are thriving and her once solitary existence is opening to a newfound love; but her enduring desire for a deep connection with her often dismissive mother, Ú la, still feels elusive. After the mysterious disappearance of her grandmother, Norah finds a peculiar box while sorting the contents of her Nana's old barn. This recovery turns Norah's life into a whirlwind of discovery. Secrets and revelations pour forth from a mysterious family diary that details the intricately connected stories and lives of her foremothers.

Falling under the spell of the Irish Seannachí (storytellers), Norah must ignore the laws of logic as she journeys into ancient traditions and long-hidden ways of knowing. Through the process Ú la, unravels the puzzle of her own tumultuous maternal relationship as she and Norah work to repair theirs.

When Ú la unexpectedly finds herself at death's door, Norah must risk testing ancient ceremonial traditions for new world solutions to save her mother.

Fiction, fantasy, history, folklore, and impish flights of fancy pleasurably collide for a startling and intoxicating read through the ages of Ireland.

Autorenporträt

Mary Murphy is a touchstone to the ancient land of Ireland. Her authenticity garners pride in the Irish-born, takes first-generation immigrants home again, gifts those with Irish roots a taste of inheritance, and ushers those who wish they were a wee bit Irish into an ephemeral union.Murphy's extensive experience as a songwriter first spurred her into taking the plunge into the marvellous and sometimes murky depths of book writing in 2009. Is it any wonder that she writes with such diversity? Mary's insatiable curiosity for life has presented sixteen (and counting) varied pen-to-the-page releases and musical accomplishments. Mary has been a touring musical artist for many years and created a sometimes comical lecture entitled "The Alchemy of Words - A Journey in the Psyche of an Irish Writer.'Novelist, short story writer, poet, children's writer, singer, whistle player and performer, this small but mighty woman fervently embraces her multi-faceted creative fire.
