Sheila O’Flanagan, Jennifer Ryan and Nicola Cassidy will discuss their novels on a theme of War in Fiction, with Hazel Gaynor.

The world wars, the Irish civil war and the War of Independence are popular settings for historical novels. This fascinating event will explore why periods of war appeal for writing fiction, the inspiration and imagination behind the author’s novels, and the need (or not) to balance disaster with hope.
