Dun Laoghaire - My new book - fiction

My new book is set in the 1820s and 1830s when the town was being built. The underlying story is very heavily intertwined with the real historical events and the hero, Willie, encounters many of the actual citizens. https://t.co/dkZZfDGVIh

Instead, they suffered hugely in the cholera epidemic of 1866. There are extensive records of charitable donations to charities for own for relief
