Produktinformationen zu „Away with the Fairies (ePub)“
Set against the backdrop of 1980s Northern Ireland and New York City, Away with the Fairies tells the story of one young womans quest to find love, adventure and happiness. To be away with the fairies, means that someone is not quite right in the head, and such is the case with Rosie Maguire. Rosies story is an old one: about the unfathomable capacity of one person to love another. Rosie lives to love and loves to live. Her story is both funny and tragic, encompassing Rosies journey from innocence to enlightenment.
Rosie is in love with Jim OLoan and believes she cannot live without him. She follows him to New York from her home in Ireland, where she finds she cannot live entirely with him either. Rosies inner conflict is exacerbated by homesickness and the thought of all she has left behind her in Ireland. Her friends and family, her ambitions and dreams are put on hold while Rosie embarks on her great adventure in New York. Also, in the background, always annoying her, taunting her and making her feel extremely confused is Sean OLoan, Jims older brother. It will take a major trauma, a return home and a long time before Rosie is able to fulfil her dreams.

Autoren-Porträt von J. McKeaveney
J. McKeaveney was born in Northern Ireland in 1967. She grew up with her parents and five siblings. During the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Northern Ireland was a country blighted by The Troubles, essentially a time of extreme civil unrest and terrorist activity. While this was an era of great upheaval and change in the history of Ireland, for the author it was also a time for growing up, going to school, falling in love and making babies. The Troubles which she experienced had more to do with the search for Mr Right than the fight for civil rights, and the quest for independence was more about leaving home and travelling than about fighting for political freedom. It is widely accepted now that the war in Northern Ireland had a negative impact on a generation of young people, who grew up not knowing what it was like to live in peace time. The extent to which it impacted on that generation, however, remains a matter for individual reflection and comment. The author therefore wishes to acknowledge that the main failures in her life cannot be attributed entirely to growing up in an unstable external environment. The inability to achieve her life long ambition to become an astronaut and work in NASA cannot be blamed entirely on Northern Ireland politics. The author feels that, even if Northern Ireland had developed a working space program, it is highly improbable that she would have managed to pass the space exam or indeed the height restrictions for becoming an astronaut. Suffice to say that the author is not an astronaut but has worked for the Health and Social Services for over twenty five years. She currently lives with her son and her cat in Co Armagh. Away With the Fairies is her first novel.
