Martina Evans is an Irish writer whose works delve into the intricacies of family dynamics and tradition. Her writing is characterized by a raw honesty and a sensitive portrayal of life within the context of a small community.

Tells the story of Beulah Kingston, who in her late sixties is still almost as tall and headstrong as on her wedding day in 1944. Born a Poleite, her zest for life has tested her simple faith to the limit. Now, with the prospect of hospital, she examines the true passion of her youth.
Highly anticipated new collection from the author of 2018's acclaimed Now We Can Talk Openly About Men.
New collection from Martina Evans, winner of the Pigott Poetry Prize 2022.
