Felicity Hayes-McCoy è un'autrice irlandese celebrata per i suoi romanzi avvincenti ambientati in una contea fittizia sulla costa occidentale dell'Irlanda. La sua scrittura è spesso descritta come 'splendidamente bella' e una 'delizia perfetta', con i lettori che apprezzano la sua capacità di creare narrazioni solari e toccanti. Hayes-McCoy dimostra un acuto senso del dettaglio e una profonda comprensione delle relazioni umane, creando opere che sono sia edificanti che perspicaci. La sua prosa, allo stesso tempo toccante e spiritosa, risuona con coloro che apprezzano storie confortanti ma riflessive.

'From the moment I crossed the mountain I fell in love. With the place, which was more beautiful than any place I'd ever seen. With the people I met there. And with a way of looking at life that was deeper, richer and wiser than any I'd known before. When I left I dreamt of clouds on the mountain. I kept going back.' We all lead very busy lives and sometimes it's hard to find the time to be the people we want to be. Twelve years ago Felicity Hayes-McCoy left the hectic pace of the city and returned to Ireland to make a new life in a remarkable house on the stunning Dingle peninsula.
