GIVEAWAY – 3 copies of The Inheritance by Cauvery Madhavan (IRELAND)
5th January 2025
We are delighted to offer 3 signed copies of The Inheritance by Cauvery Madhavan, set on the BEARA PENINSULA, West Cork, IRELAND
OPEN ACROSS THE EU AND UK
It’s 1986 and 29-year-old Marlo O’Sullivan of London-Irish stock has just found out that his sister is his mother. To steady his life, he moves to Glengarriff, to a cottage he has inherited, in the stunning Beara Peninsula. When a neighbour dies unexpectedly, Marlo takes over his minibus service to Cork. There is nothing regular about the regulars on the bus – especially Sully, a non-verbal 6 year old, who goes nowhere but does the journey back and forth every day, on his own. Marlo is landed with this a strange but compassionate arrangement, fashioned to give the child’s mother respite from his care. Sully’s obsession with an imaginary friend in the ancient oak forests of Glengarriff slowly unveils its terrible secrets – a 400-hundred-year-old tragedy reveals itself.

Ah! Ireland has everything for me. The pace of living gives time to appreciate all it’s best things – the people & their attitudes to life in particular, but also the beautiful landscapes & seascapes that are always nearby. I live in England, but wanted my own bit of Ireland so much that I married an Irishman and we plan to return there permanently in the near future.

Apart from the gorgeous scenery (I constantly tell friends how Donegal is THE most beautiful place I’ve ever been to, with truly outstanding white-sand beaches), it’s the people that make Ireland for me. I’ve never experienced such friendliness anywhere, with people waving at you, stopping to chat, giving directions for how to get to an unexplored cove, not for one second seeing my Asian-ness as a difference. And always with a beautiful, warm accent.
Love the amazing scenery – the green landscape, the unspoiled coastline and the friendly people
I love Ireland for its breathtaking landscapes, from the Cliffs of Moher to the lush green countryside; its rich history and mythology; the warmth and friendliness of its people; the vibrant music and pub culture; and the unique charm of its small towns and castles.
LOVE the chilled attitude and down to earth friendly people. Plus, met your boxer – Katie Taylor (she’s cool too)!.
So friendly and full of Craic
The most unbeat people I’ve ever met

What is not to love, the people are amazing, so kind and friendly and I love the accent. The cities are beautiful and unspoilt by commercialism somehow maintaining their charm. the country side and coasts are so incredible, completely unspoilt and how nature has made them which is so perfect
