FAMINE Voices of a lost generation
€25.00
“In Famine: Voices of a Lost Generation, author, historian and story-teller Joe McGowan brings into focus one of the most poignant chapters in Irish history. Through eyewitness accounts, official records, family memory, and folklore, he reconstructs a vivid, deeply human story of hunger, eviction, disease, and exile, in a journey from the poorest cabin to the ‘big house’ and on to the ill-fated coffin ships.

As chairman and founding member of the County Sligo Famine Commemoration Committee, McGowan is uniquely placed to write about the devastating impact of An Gorta Mór, The Great Hunger. Bringing together the authority of the historian and the sensitivity of the seanchaí, he traces its human consequences and enduring legacy, offering a compassionate account of loss, resilience, and remembrance.”

Water In The Desert, Fire In The Night
€16.00
Description

Because the thing about the end of the world is that it happens all the time. Someone leaves and it’s the end of the world. Someone comes back and it’s the end of the world.

Somebody puts their cock in you and it’s the end of the world. Somebody stops putting their cock in you and it’s the end of the world. Here is a novel about mothering, wolves, bicycles, midwifery, post-apocalyptic feminism, gold, hunger and hope.

It’s about an underachieving millennial, a retired midwife and an Irishman who set out from London after the end of the world to cycle to a sanctuary in the southern Alps. It’s about the porousness of the female bodily experience, the challenges of being an empiricist with a sample size of one, what’s worth knowing, what’s worth living, and the necessity of irrationality. It’s about the fact that the world ends all the time, and it’s about what to try to do next.

The Wardrobe Department
€16.95
Description

A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST DEBUT OF 2025

Mairead works all hours in a run-down West End theatre’s wardrobe department, her whole existence made up of threads and needles, running errands to mend shoes, fixing broken zips and handwashing underwear. She must also do her best to avoid groping hands backstage and the terrible bullying of the show’s producer.

But, despite her skill and growing experience, half of Mairead remains in her windy, hedge-filled home in Ireland, and the life she abandoned there. In noughties London, she has the potential to be somebody completely new – why, then, does she feel so stuck? Between the bustling side streets of Soho, and the wet grass of Leitrim and Donegal, Mairead is caught, running from the girl she was but unable to reveal the woman she’d hoped to become.

Told with rare honesty and equal measures of warmth and bite, The Wardrobe Department is a story about reckoning with the past, finding the courage to change the present – and asking what comes next.

Tell Me What I Am
€15.95

Deena Garvey disappeared in 2004. She left behind a daughter and a sister. Deena’s daughter grows up in the country.

She learns how to hunt, when to seed the garden, how to avoid making her father angry. Never to ask about her absent mother. Deena’s sister stays stuck in the city, getting desperate.

She knows the man responsible for her sister’s disappearance, but she can’t prove it. Not yet. Over fourteen years, four hundred miles apart, these two women slowly begin to unearth the secrets and lies at the heart of their family, and the history of power and control that has shaped them both in such different ways.

But can they reach each other in time? And will the truth finally answer the question of their lives: What really happened to Deena Garvey?

Too Big For His Roots
€12.50
Robert O Connor was not expecting cheering crowds to greet him on his return to
Dromahair. Few there were likely to view him as a war hero. Nobody believed he had
acted out of principle when he enlisted, as the man had never served any cause other
than his own. That did not bother Robert. If anything, he revelled in the notoriety.
After all, he was destined for bigger and better things than his home village could
offer.

One by one, she undid each event, each decision, each choice. If Davy had remembered to put on a coat. If Seamie McGeown had not found himself alone on a dark street.

If Michael Agnew had not walked through the door of the pub on a quiet night in February in his white shirt. There is nothing special about the day Cushla meets Michael, a married man from Belfast, in the pub owned by her family. But here, love is never far from violence, and this encounter will change both of their lives forever.

As people get up each morning and go to work, school, church or the pub, the daily news rolls in of another car bomb exploded, another man beaten, killed or left for dead. In the class Cushla teaches, the vocabulary of seven-year-old children now includes phrases like ‘petrol bomb’ and ‘rubber bullets’. And as she is forced to tread lines she never thought she would cross, tensions in the town are escalating, threatening to destroy all she is working to hold together.

Tender and shocking, Trespasses is an unforgettable debut of people trying to live ordinary lives in extraordinary times.

About the Book

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at the age of 30. At the same time I was looking to start a new life in Australia and had just met Des (my fiancé) while working at an Irish bar.

Des stood by me through this illness and supported me in ways I could have never imagined with his love. After having to cancel our wedding in 2018 and give up work, we finally found our happy place in 2020.

The love that Des showed me during this time and the illness inspired me to write a book so that I could help others who are also going through a difficult time. The book writes about the lessons I learnt in my own life on health, wealth, love and happiness.

It is my hope that in sharing lessons from my own life that it will help others and inspire others that love will always shine through no matter how dark our days are. This book has been written from my heart to yours.
