The House at Zaronza by Vanessa Couchman
Set in early 20th-century Corsica and at the Western Front in
World War I, The House at Zaronza is loosely inspired by a true
story. It tells the story of Maria Orsini, the daughter of a
bourgeois family in a Corsican village. A new schoolmaster
comes to the village and they carry on a secret romance, but
Maria’s family has other ideas for her future. She becomes a
volunteer nurse during World War I and the novel follows her
fortunes through the war and beyond.
“I loved this book. It is beautifully told, word perfect, totally absorbing and
wonderfully researched.”
“This debut novel is an absolute gem.”
The House at Zaronza was judged in the top four in the Flash 500 Novel Opening
Competition and is published by Crooked Cat Publishing. Available in paperback and
e-book editions from Amazon
Dancing Shadows, Tramping Hooves by Dianne
Ascroft.
Dancing Shadows, Tramping Hooves is a collection of half a
dozen short stories with Irish connections. Tales of outsiders
who discover they belong, a humorous slice of life yarn,
heart-warming love stories and a tale of taming fear. The
shadows are on the wall, in the heart and clouding a
woman’s memories while tangible foes tramp through the
physical landscape. The stories were previously printed
individually in a variety of Irish magazines and anthologies.
