Lise O'Farrell

The Tears of God (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book is about secrets, and the tragedies they cause. The story is woven from three strands: the Fuchsia plant, an old diary, and autism. Teresa explores an abandoned cottage and finds the diary. She moves the beautiful Fuchsia to her own garden. Her son Eoin, who has Asberger's Syndrome, fixates on it. Little by little, the full story behind the diary comes out, and at the same time another devastating secret appears, closer to home. (The Irish language name for the Fuchsia means "Tears of God".)

Autorenporträt

Lise O'Farrell comes originally from Seychelles, then a British colony in the Indian Ocean. Her ancestors were French colonial settlers. After O-levels and a two-year stint in the Civil Service, she returned to education, completed A-levels and won a scholarship to Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island where she met her Irish husband. She majored in English and French literature, qualified as a Secondary teacher and taught in a public school. She moved to Los Angeles for two years and then to Ireland, where she raised three children and engaged in many voluntary activities, among them organising a youth club and adult daytime education. Nowadays, she enjoys her seven grandchildren, and for recreation engages in choral singing, walking and gardening. Her first novel, Happiness is a Lost Island, was published in 2018 (see www.logicpress.ie/LS/catalogue.html). She has also published short stories.
