Dusty Bluebells Scots Edition

Dusty Bluebells Scots Edition is a haunting family mystery set in an Irish seaside town. Gothic in mood, the language of this novel evokes a not-so-distant past.

"Maisie picturd Sally's lang, thick hair meanderin doon hir bak as she tippa rippa rappered on the shouler o the girl in front. An she minded singin an dancin an playin at the corner fur oors on end atween factory bells, schuil bells an dusty bluebells." But life is far from idyllic in the tight-knit community surrounding the factory, as secrets flit from one Hallowe'en Eve to the next.

"Pithy with Ulster Scots, old rhymes, cures and sayings, there is a sense of magic to it all. A book to warm your heart on a cold winter's night." Ruth McKee, The Irish Times.
