One of the most exciting tournaments in rugby, the Women’s Six Nations is a proper celebration of elite sport – and one of our favourite times of year.

Overview Arriving in Beara in 1986 and moving into a cottage he has just inherited, writer Marlo is amazed by how quickly he feels at home. But the land carries its own inheritance. In the wildness of the forest, the openness of Big Meadow and the crashing waves around the island of Dursey, echoes of the past still resonate, and a 400 year old tragedy reveals itself. Inspired by her love of Ireland, her home for over 40 years, the acclaimed Indian writer Cauvery Madhavan evokes the magical Beara peninsula in her newest novel, weaving the true story of the Long March of O’Sullivan Beare in 1602, when the English military forced the Irish from their lands, into a tale of longing, identity, and finding peace. Martin Nutty (Irish Stew podcast) joins the author in conversation. SPECIAL PRE-EVENT PRICE: Purchase the book and ticket option, and save 10% off the retail price of the book.
