The Irish Child Tear-jerking, Totally Compelling Irish Timeslip Fiction
By Daisy O'Shea
First published 2024
A salty breeze whips the tears from my eyes as I stare out at the emerald Irish Sea. Everything I've lost, the child my great grandmother Nellie lost, all feels so present here, in the land my family left years ago. How will I ever move on? Will I ever uncover the truth about the little girl who went missing all those years ago? When Boston-born Erin arrives in wind-tossed Roone Bay, she's heart-sore, tired and lonely. Her marriage is over: she's come to build a new life for herself on Ireland's rugged southern coast. And to unravel the story behind the mysterious note in her family's ancient Bible that has haunted her since childhood. But hazel-eyed former lifeboat volunteer Finn, the only local historian around, quietly refuses her pleas to help. So Erin settles in to the town, with its whitewashed cottages and ruddy-cheeked fishermen, and begins her quest alone. Who was her ancestor, Nellie, and why did she leave Ireland for America? What happened to her missing child, Annie, and did Nellie ever see her again? Just as Erin despairs ever uncovering the truth, one rain-soaked night she is rescued by Finn, who finally agrees to help.
