The Queen of Dirt Island

<p>The Aylward women of Nenagh, Tipperary, are mad about each other, but you wouldn't always think it. You'd have to know them to know - despite what the neighbours might say about raised voices and dramatic scenes - that their house is a place of peace, filled with love, a refuge from the sadness and cruelty of the world.</p> <p>Their story begins at an end and ends at a beginning. It involves wives and widows, gunrunners and gougers, sinners and saints. It's a story of terrible betrayals and fierce loyalties, of isolation and togetherness, of transgression, forgiveness, desire, and love. About all the things a family can be and all the things it sometimes isn't. From the prize-winning author of <em>Strange Flowers</em> and <em>The Spinning Heart</em>, <em>The Queen of Dirt Island</em> is an uplifting celebration of fierce, loyal love and the powerful stories that bind generations together.</p>
