The Stolen Child

'Some books set up house inside your soul. Utterly magnificent' - M. R. Carey

A remote island off the west coast of Ireland St Brigid's is a barren landscape its small community dwindling. But according to rumour it is a magical place a home to a healing well.

Rose and Emer have resisted the call to the mainland. They are sisters but opposites in every way. Rose beautiful and blessed with a large family dotes on the bitter and defiant Emer.

When a stranger arrives in search of a miracle the islanders are determined to keep their secrets close. Little do they realise that the stranger's quest will endanger the lives of all who remain on the island.
