      Hello everyone. I received a message from a reader Hello everyone.
I received a message from a reader today, who identified with Greta in My Pear-Shaped Life. So many of us are our own harshest critics, including me. 

In case anyone needs to hear this today:

Never define your worth by your dress or shirt size. 
We are all enough. 
We are all worthy.
It's just as important to be kind to yourself, as it is to be kind to others.

And if anyone does make you feel 'less than', come tell your aunty Carmel and I'll name a horrible character in my next book after them.... 😜

P.S. to all my ebook readers, My Pear-Shaped Life is only £1.00 at the moment:

https://smarturl.it/Pear-Shaped-Life-EB

MY PEAR-SHAPED LIFE BY CARMEL HARRINGTON 
Meet Greta.
She’s funny.
She’s flawed.
She’s hiding so much behind her big smile she’s forgotten who she is.
But Greta is about to discover that the key to being happy is…being yourself.
Greta Gale has played the part of the funny fat one her entire life, hiding her insecurities behind a big smile. But size doesn’t matter when you can laugh at yourself, right?
Until Greta realises she’s the only one not laughing. And deep down, she’s not sure if she’ll ever laugh again.

      Thankyou @sarah.k.reads for this gorgeous early 5⭐️review of The Girl From Donegal. 

Posted @withregram • @sarah.k.reads CARMEL HARRINGTON - THE GIRL FROM DONEGAL

I’m a big fan of Carmel Harrington’s writing. Her books are always completely unique and original. 

The Girl From Donegal, is a dual timeline story. 

In 1939, we meet Eliza. She is a woman who has suffered more heartache in one lifetime 
#carmelharrington #thegirlfrimdonegal#curlupwithcarmel#than anyone should, but she remains strong and after a whirlwind encounter, she makes a life changing decision. 
As world war two is looming, Eliza boards the Athenia, with the intention of sailing into her new life. 
Disaster strikes the ship, and Eliza’s life is changed forever. 

In the present day, Saoirse (pronounced Ser-Sha) heads to Bermuda to celebrate her aunt Kate’s 90th birthday. 
Saoirse has a fiancée and a future that she is unsure of. And a past that she needs closure from. 

Kate’s story spans the two timelines. She has had a good life, but it hasn’t been without its heartache. Even as she turns 90, life has some surprises in store for Kate. 

The Girl From Donegal, is a family saga that spans over eighty years. 
It’s full of feisty women who all have their own story to tell. 

I particularly loved Eliza’s story. This could honestly have been a book in itself. 
Her journey was heartbreaking in so many ways, but ultimately uplifting. 

The settings in the book are breathtaking. From wild and wonderful Donegal, to the sublime sunshine and pink sands of Bermuda with the rugged beauty of Canada thrown in too. I felt like I’d been on holiday by the end of the book and I’d love a few cocktails in the Rum Bum Bar!

As always, Carmel Harrington’s writing is a joy to read. Her use of language is beautiful and flows through the pages with effortless ease. 

The Girl From Donegal is an epic read. It’s 
heartbreaking, harrowing, charming, uplifting, positive and downright gorgeous. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

With grateful thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins Uk for a digital arc of this title.

Miss you @elainecrowleytv @sarinabellissimo @drsarahcleary ❤️
      I’ve been thinking about Deirdre Purcell much of I’ve been thinking about Deirdre Purcell much of today. My word count low, as I reflected on the impact writers like Deirdre had on me as a young woman, dreaming of a possible career as an author. She was a trailblazer, fearless and extremely talented. I think one of her great skills was the plot twist. You never saw them coming. Lots of gorgeous tributes today from readers, sharing their love of her novels. I hope this has given her family and close friends some comfort. 
I was honoured to meet her and spend time in her company, and it was lovely to share a little of that in The Irish Times today. I’ll put a link in my stories, there are some beautiful tributes from her dear friends, @patriciascanlan7224 and @sheilaoflanagan too. ❤️
RIP Deirdre; and thank you for the books ❤️
