Dalloway Cottage

Dalloway Cottage is a book about second chances. Set against the backdrop of Irish fairy folklore, this story weaves together the mystical and redemptive wisdom of the fairy world and the raw reality of human sorrow, suggesting sometimes a touch of magic is needed to reveal the truth and offer healing.

Kieran MacGillicuddy grew up in the hills of western Ireland listening to tales of how the invisible hands of the wee folk shaped the fate of mortals. The lands surrounding his family’s sheep farm were infused with such beauty and magic that he never wanted to leave.

Years later, grief presses heavily on Kieran’s heart after losing his wife and unborn child. He considers selling the family’s sheep farm, only to stumble upon evidence that the folklore of his youth held more than a grain of truth. It’s a secret he can tell no one – not even his friend Gillian, who, after losing her own husband, harbors unspoken secrets of her enchanted home, Dalloway Cottage. When her own encounters with the fae are revealed, she and Kieran are bonded by grief and magic. Together they must accept the truth of their pasts, to find a path beyond the shadow of loss to forge a future together.
