Description:


The Herbalist is the electrifying first novel from Niamh Boyce, winner of the 2012 Hennesssy XO Award for New Irish Writing. A beautiful and gripping story from 1930s rural Ireland, a time when women paid a terrible price for unmarried pregnancy, The Herbalist will appeal to fans of The Midwife's Daughter and The Outcast.

The Herbalist Review:


First couple of chapters in and I wasn't impressed but after 4 or 5 and I was in. The characters are the key, rich and colourful, relatable and the story is woven in such a way to keep you in the story turning the pages eager to unravel what is going on.

The author cleverly gives you just enough to make his book impossible to put down. Beautiful lilting use of language that does take you to Ireland with plots and sub plots woven in such a way, not surprisingly this book was recognised as an award winning read. Not the type of book I'd usually choose but loved it, really did and would highly recommend.
