In Sight of Home
A Verse Novel by Nessa O’Mahony

“Nessa O'Mahony’s writing is subtle and precise and this fine book crackles with truthfulness. But even more importantly, this is a work of great beauty, a story of how past and present flow into one another all the time. It’s a moving, powerful and richly pleasurable read, audaciously imagined and achieved.” Joseph O’Connor

Date/Time: Thursday 14th May, 2009, 6pm
