Maureen Sparling On Her Latest Book, Mystery At Sykes House
Published 3 days, 1 hour ago
Description
History, folklore and the enduring charm of Kilkee come together in a new book by Limerick author Maureen Sparling.
Mystery at Sykes House is inspired by the tragic wreck of The Edmond off the Clare coast in 1850, blending historical fact with romance, mystery and local legend.
Alongside the title novella, the book is a heartfelt celebration of Kilkee through stories, poems and memories that capture the special bond generations of people have shared with the seaside town.
Maureen joined Alan Morrissey to tell us more about the inspiration behind her latest work.
