Inishowen

A book about our Irish partner's region!



Inishowen

The book by Joseph O’Connor begins in Dublin one day before Christmas Eve. An unknown woman collapsed in the street. Inspector Martin Aitken comes to the scene to find out who she is. Meanwhile in New York, Dr Milton Amery, a plastic surgeon, is trying to deal with his teenage kids, please his lover and find his missing wife.
As it turns out, the woman who collapsed is Ellen Donnelly Amery, Milton’s wife, who came to Ireland to find her birth mother.
Together, Ellen and Martin go looking for her mother, while Martin tries to cope with his past.

Inishowen is not a book you can read fast and easy but you get to know the characters’ minds and their story. So if you manage to keep reading, it really is an interesting ride.
