The Currach and the Corncrake

“Part intimate family portrait, part myth, part homage to the glorious land and sea of Ireland, this is a story of loyalty, to whom we are meant to be and to those we love. There is more than one hero on this journey, a father and son who must battle themselves, each other, and the elements before they have a chance of mending what is broken—all told with Piotrowicz’s gorgeous lyricism and endless imagination. Immersed in her wondrous world, I savored each word and didn’t want it to end but couldn’t put it down.”


—Georgina Key, author of Shiny Bits in Between





“I love beautiful stories and beautiful prose. E. Piotrowicz’s The Currach and the Corncake has both. Wisdom drips from these pages, like much needed parables for a modern age.”


—Craig Randall, author of To Chase the Sun
