Author Visit

Yesterday the wonderful Anna McPartlin came to visit our store and talk with some schoolchildren. I think she enjoyed it, and I learned that pepper spray is illegal in Ireland! So fun times all around.

The Author a Month for November was Brian Gallagher. Brian is well known in Ireland's theatre community as well as in RTE where he worked as a writer on Fair City for twelve years.








Brian's newest book, Across the Divide, is set in Dublin in 1913 during the Lockout. Nora and Liam come from opposite sides of Dublin's social divide, but their love of Feis Ceoil brings them together. When Larkin's strikes start gaining power, their friendship is threatened...

Brian visited with two groups of children from a local school and explained a little about writing and about the historical background to the novel. We'd like to thank him for traveling to be with us today.
