Author Orla Mackey received a warm welcome at Ardkeen Library last weekend.
The writer appeared to talk about her debut novel ' Mouthing', a portrait of small-town Ireland throughout the generations.
She spoke with Fiona Foskin, Executive Librarian with Waterford Libraries. The event was part of the Writers at Waterford Libraries programme which will feature Andrea Carter in Lismore Library in June and Sheila O’Flanagan in Tramore Library in July.
'Mouthing' follows a set of characters from mid-century rural Ireland to the present day. The reader follows these characters in their small triumphs and losses over the span of decades. It depicts the town of Ballyrowan as a place of petty grievances, schadenfreude and gossip.
