THE GHOSTLIGHTS
For fans of Jon McGregor and Harold Fry, the poignant story of a family of Irish women who are each looking for the real meaning of home.
Can anyone really choose to be forgotten?
An elderly gentleman checks into a B&B in a small village in rural Ireland where he knows nobody. Four days later, his body is found in the lake.
The identity of their unknown guest raises questions for one family in particular, twin sisters Liv and Marianne, and their mother, Ethel, each of whom is searching for her own place in the world.
The Ghostlights brilliantly evokes the lives of the people in the town and explores the aftershocks of a stranger's tragedy. What is identity? And strangerhood? What is the meaning of home, and what power do we have over whether or not we are remembered?
Gráinne grew up in rural west Cork, Ireland. At university she studied Applied Psychology and forensic research. In 2011 she moved with her family to Brussels for 5 years. She has now returned to West Cork, working as a self- employed language editor specialising in human rights and environmental issues.
