Nine Folds Make a Paper Swan by Ruth Gilligan
The Irish bestseller about putting down roots in unfamiliar soil; about falling in love; and about how tradition and tales are born, nurtured and handed from one generation to the next.

Graceful, confident, vivid... I loved this beautifully written novel * Joseph O'Connor *
A rich and layered story of the complications, the mistakes and the heartbreaks of which a human life is made... I haven't read anything like it * Belinda McKeon *

Brimming with concepts and yarns * Irish Times *
Rich in plot and full of characters that have been neglected by Irish literature * Guardian *
