Rainsongs (Broché)

Martha Cassidy returns to a remote cottage in a virtually abandoned village on the west coast of Ireland for reasons that are unclear even to her. Looking out from her window towards the dramatic rise of the Skelligs across the water, she reflects on the recent loss of her husband, his death stirring unresolved heartache from years gone by. Alone on the windswept headland, surrounded by miles of cold sea, the past closes in.
As the days unfold, Martha searches for a way forward, but finds herself drawn into a standoff between the entrepreneur Eugene Riordan and local hill farmer Paddy O'Connell. While the tension between them builds to a crisis that leaves Paddy in hospital, Martha encounters Colm, a gifted but much younger musician and poet. Caught between its history and its future, the Celtic Tiger reels with change and Martha faces redemptive choices that will reshape her life forever.
