Book Overview
Nestled in the rolling hills of rural Ireland, Callyhill is a town where every life tells a story, and every story leaves its mark.
In this captivating anthology, Mary Bradford takes readers on a journey through the struggles and triumphs of a community in flux, where the echoes of the past shape the hopes for the fut... ure.
Through the voices of migrants, caregivers, locals, and outcasts, Callyhill: Echoes of Change reveals the hidden threads that bind us all.
From Rosa’s reluctant return home to confront a painful past to Amira’s harrowing flight from a war-torn country, these stories explore belonging and the resilience of the human spirit. Walk with Katie, a caregiver battling homesickness and prejudice, who discovers strength in unexpected friendships, and Aleksy’s bittersweet memories of a life left behind.
Through moments of tenderness, heartbreak, and courage, the people of Callyhill navigate the shifting tides of a community shaped by immigration, identity, and the search for purpose. As their stories intertwine, they challenge us to reflect on our own connections to family, home, and the ever-evolving world around us.
Each story stands alone, yet together they form a vivid portrait of the human spirit—resilient, defiant, and deeply connected.
Step into Callyhill, where the characters will linger in your heart long after you turn the final page, and where every choice leaves a ripple, every life leaves a mark, and every story feels like your own.
A must-read for fans of Maeve Binchy, Colm Tóibín, Billy O'Callaghan and Donal Ryan.read more
