From the award-winning, internationally bestselling author of FOUR LETTERS OF LOVE and THIS IS HAPPINESS, we are delighted that the new book by NIALL WILLIAMS:' O Now!' , has landed on our shelves!

AN IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE AUTUMN*

A wise, tender, life-affirming return to the beloved town of Faha by the award-winning master of Irish literature

This is the why of us.

October in the parish of Faha, County Clare – the beginning of the season of spirits.

Four nights a week, Bat Considine calls on his neighbour Mossie Crowe; a beloved widower known to all in the townland of Faha as Ganga. They sit by the fire and, as Bat reads the newspaper aloud, wait to see which of them will die first.

But this week, Bat will make a discovery that changes this routine forever. In the coming days, Ganga's small community will gather, and his family travel home from far away; to celebrate a quiet life, in all its miracles.

Funny, beautiful, transcendent and wise, O Now! leads readers back down the road that leads to Faha – and explores what it means to live a meaningful life, and what it means to leave it behind.

A legend is stirring.

Stories of Queen Maeve have lingered across Connacht and the Atlantic coast since her death two thousand years ago. A Sligo surfer has heard whispers on the tide that this ancient Irish warrior is waking from her slumber. From the mysterious passage tombs of Knocknarea and Carrowmore to the enormous swells that break at Mullaghmore, Waking Maeve carries readers on a rolling wave from Stone Age to the era of rock ’n’ roll, tracking the myths, landscapes and people that shaped Ireland’s northwest.

Along the way, you’ll meet kings and queens, saints and Vikings, poets and rebels, shipwrecks, surfers and dreamers who left their mark on one of Ireland’s most extraordinary landscapes.

Guided by the enduring spirit of the Neolithic people of the northwest, Queen Maeve and the poet WB Yeats, Seamus Mc Goldrick reveals the deep connections between past and present, inviting readers to discover why Sligo continues to captivate, inspire and surprise.

“An evocative journey through myth, memory and marine identity, Waking Maeve reconnects us with the ancient relationship between people, place and sea. Seamus Mc Goldrick brings Ireland’s northwest vividly to life through story, landscape and the enduring power of the feminine. Here, Queen Maeve emerges as both wave-rider and warrior of the sea, stirring as if from an ancient slumber beneath the Atlantic tide.” Easkey Britton, author of Saltwater in the Blood.

''This special book by the late Manchán Magan recently arrived.

AS TRANSCENDENT AND MIRACULOUS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, THE FINAL BOOK IN MANCHÁN'S LANDMARK TRILOGY.

In his final book, Manchán implores us – even dares us – to move from the limited rational world to a more expansive spiritual one. To become re-enchanted once again. To understand that there are more ways of seeing, more ways of knowing and to uncover the interconnectedness between all things.

Manchán explores how ancient Irish culture retains deep resonances with other indigenous worldviews – a way of perceiving land, language, nature and spirit as inseparable. Drawing on mythology, early law, folklore and placenames, Manchán traces how Ireland's forests, sacred trees and landscapes shaped the Irish psyche with such a resilience that many beliefs and customs endure to this day. In Seeing What's Hidden, Manchán implores us to look again so that we too might rediscover our cultural inheritance and chart our course forward from here.

Laden down with boxes last week, local author and historian, Ger Browne arrived in with both paperback and hardback copies of his new book:

'Éire in World War II: The True Story'

For decades, Ireland’s role in the Second World War has often been summarised in a single word: neutrality.

But the reality was far more complicated.

In his book, Ger Browne, together with a group of contributors, examines the evidence behind Ireland’s wartime position and reveals a story of intelligence cooperation, military preparation, Allied assistance, personal sacrifice, and thousands of Irish lives shaped by the conflict.

Inside Ireland’s Hidden Wartime Record.

In his book, Ger moves beyond the familiar narrative of neutrality to examine the evidence, people, and decisions that shaped Ireland’s wartime experience. Through historical records, military cooperation, intelligence activity, weather reporting, and personal sacrifice, the book reveals a far more complex story than the traditional account suggests.

• Irish neutrality and Allied cooperation
• The Donegal Corridor, Foynes and Shannon
• Intelligence sharing and coastal defence
• Irish volunteers, merchant seamen and wartime service
• The human stories behind thousands of documented lives

Ger's historical research includes extensive material relating to Éire during World War II, County Clare, the First World War, the Irish revolutionary period, and local history.
