The Only Glow of the Day
A new historical novel from the author of The Silence of the Glasshouse, based on the author’s one-hour play for RTÉ Radio 1, Rosanna Night Walker.
It is the winter of 1863 and Rosanna Doyle is living rough on the Curragh grasslands, within walking distance of a large military encampment. The novel follows her arrival at a ‘wren’s nest’ (furze bush), her life among the women there, and her meeting with journalist Richard Tone.
The novel is grounded in historical fact; the character of Tone, the pressman who writes about the lives of the ‘wren women’, is based on a journalist who Charles Dickens sent to write about the women living rough in the Curragh
