Penny-farthing Sally / Elizabeth O'Hara by Elizabeth O'Hara
Sequel to The hiring fair and Blaeberry Sunday.
When Saoirse loses her boyfriend, her job and her apartment she leaves Dublin to get away from it all in a remote part of West Kerry, far from the crazy world of the city. There she sets about making a new life for herself… but instead of contentment she finds dark secrets when she begins to track down a murderer.
Read this during my MA about 8 years ago and decided it was worth a reread as I remembered enjoying it at the time but couldn't remember it clearly. Apt depiction of teenagers at the Gaeltacht set among the back-drop of the Troubles. Not much happens but the characters are all so well drawn that I felt pulled through the entire narrative. Spot-on observations about Irish life.
