Carol Lovekin is a writer, a mother and a feminist. Her heritage is Irish although she has lived in Wales since the late seventies.
Her first four books touch on the nature of simple magic and how it threads through the fabric of our lives. She explores possibilities: the fine line between the everyday and the time-shifting world of enchantment. Her books are also firmly rooted in reality; she writes about family relationships and how people – women in particular – respond to and survive loss.
All her books are set in Wales, where she has lived for several decades: a place whose legends and landscapes inform her writing.
Her most recently completed novel is set in Ireland.
