Fiona: Stolen Child - Gemma Whelan


Fiona: Stolen Child

Wanting a novel that is set in Ireland and American ?

Synopsis : Fiona : Stolen Child - Gemma Whelan - October 2010

Fiona Clarke, an Irish writer living in New York, has been running away from her past since she left rural Cregora, Ireland, for boarding school. That past finds her, many years later, when her thinly veiled autobiographical novel is optioned for a movie. Working as the film’s consultant, Fiona unearths deep secrets, relives childhood trauma, and connects with an estranged family thrust back into her life. As her history opens upon her, Fiona must stop running and confront her secret shame: her long-held sense of responsibility over the death of her little sister Orla back in 1964.
A powerful, cinematic novel that sweeps from Ireland to America and back again.
