I couldn’t stop turning just one more page, well, ok, just one more chapter… so much was familiar, yet so much was new and interesting. You really don’t know what to expect, which to me is a sign of a well written story. At no time did I want to end this book… not just fiction, but factional.. and I can’t wait to read more from this author.
Chris captures exactly what I always hoped readers would experience while reading Brigid’s story. And I pay tribute to bloggers like Crissouli for sharing my novel and their opinion to the wider reading world. On a more personal level, I was delighted to discover Chris chose my story because (in her own words).
The title attracted me as well as the description of a lacemaker, being a family historian and a craftswoman. It also helped that I am named after my Irish grandmother, Bridget, who was a native of Co Clare. (And Chris lives in Brisbane, where part of the book is set).
I’m even more delighted that Chris calls the story factional and plans to use if as reference material. Brigid had a different cover in those days, but you can read the full review here.
It’s always a pleasure to meet new people and make new friends through connections like these. I can’t say thank you enough to people who contact me, review my stories and tell other people. Are you a genealogist? Or a craftsperson, or Irish (or Welsh, like me). Please don’t be shy. Write to me.
