First In Person Book Signing!

We had our first in person book signing since the beginning of the pandemic on Saturday 29th May!

Damhnait Monaghan joined us in the shop to sign copies of her debut novel New Girl In Little Cove.

A real author, in the flesh, in our shop, it was great! We have really missed being able to host authors and events in person, it always adds an extra buzz to the store.

Missed Damhnait? We still have copies of her book in store order yours today or pop in to have a look and pick up a copy. 

New Girl in Little Cove by Damhnait Monaghan
Paperback RRP £9.99

When a new teacher arrives in a tiny fishing village, she realizes the most important lessons are the ones she learns outside the classroom.

It’s 1985. Rachel O’Brien arrives in Little Cove seeking a fresh start after her father dies and her relationship ends. As a new teacher at the local Catholic high school, Rachel chafes against the small community, where everyone seems to know her business. The anonymous notes that keep appearing on her car, telling her to go home, don’t make her feel welcome either.

Still, Rachel is quickly drawn into the island’s distinctive music and culture, as well as the lives of her students and fellow teacher, Doug Bishop. As Rachel begins to bond with her students, her feelings for Doug also begin to grow. Rachel tries to ignore her emotions because Doug is in a long-distance relationship with his high school sweetheart. Or is he?

Eventually, Rachel’s beliefs clash with church and community, and she makes a decision that throws her career into jeopardy. In trying to help a student, has she gone too far? Only the intervention of the ‘Holy Dusters,’ local women who hook rugs and clean the church, can salvage Rachel’s job as well as her chance at a future with Doug.
