Tuesday, July 15, 2025, 6:30-8:30 pm: The Boy from the Sea by Garrett Carr, published Feb. 6, 2025, 336 pp. This is Carr’s first novel for adults, and it’s set in his hometown of Killybegs, Donegal in 1973 when a barrel containing a baby boy washed ashore in the Irish fishing town. Fisherman Ambrose Bonnar brings the child home to his wife Christine, and the pair adopt him and name him Brendan.

Tuesday, September 15, 2025, 6:30-8:30 pm; The Bogside Boys by best-selling author Eoin (Owen) Dempsey,© 2016, 253 pp. Historical fiction, this book is a meticulously-researched, nuanced family saga set over 25 years of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Mick Doherty has a secret, and it’s time to introduce her to his family. It’s not easy being with a girl from the other side of the divide. He knows that being with Melissa could prove impossible. Protestants and Catholics don’t mix. The march through Bogside will be the perfect time to introduce her to his twin brother Pat at least. Author Dempsey was born and raised in Ireland and now lives in Philadelphia. (Book recommended by Paula McGill)
