Mark Casey
did not expect to fall in love. But from the minute he saw Joanne Lynch across
the garden of a Dublin pub, it seemed that nothing else was possible. Soon they
start a relationship that is as chaotic and exciting as the city they share.
But Mark is also drawn back guiltily to his family and the land they have
farmed for generations and he discovers the truth behind a feud that threatens
to destroy this passionate love affair. Just as they appear to have brought the
warring factions together, one single tragic moment undoes everything.
Solace is a
beautiful, breathtaking story about the city and the country, the old and the
new, the thrill of new love and the inescapable bond between parents and
children. 'A novel of quiet power, filled with moments of carefully-told truth'
