About this event
Martina Devlin’s Glorious Monsters (Lilliput Press) is a spellbinding reimagining of Rome’s Romantic circle, involving the brilliant, volatile, and dangerously entangled Shelleys. Emily Hourican’s A House in Winter (Eriu) is a story of family conflict and class tension set around Princess Margaret’s visit to Ireland in 1965. Henrietta McKervey’s The Woman in the Water (Hachette Ireland) is a twisty gothic mystery set between 1930s London and Cornwall. The authors join writer Neil Hegarty in conversation.
