Beatrice by Noelle Harrison
An evocative debut novel of a missing sister, and the fragility of family relationships, set in the landscape of County Meath
"'Vivid and powerful, BEATRICE is a novel told in gleaming moments, like a string of pearls brought one by one out of the darkIt has the compelling power of a detective story, following a trail of ghosts into the past' NIALL WILLIAMS 'It totally grips the reader's attention quite literally to the very final paragraph... it marks the debut of a deeply mature and skilful voice...' DERMOT BOLGER, THE SUNDAY INDEPENDENT"
Noëlle Harrison was born in London in the sixties to an Irish mother. Most of her childhood was spent in the home counties - Surrey, the Cotswolds, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire – where her mother worked as a housekeeper. Noëlle began writing plays in the early nineties. She moved to Dublin in 1991, and shortly afterwards set up Aurora, a collaborative theatre company, working with actors, artists, film makers, dancers and musicians. She has written four plays, Northern Landscapes, Black Virgin, and Runaway Wife, and most recently The Good Sister . In 1997 Noëlle moved to the Irish midlands with her partner just before their son was born. It was this landscape of bogs, woods and lakes, and its dark brooding atmosphere, which inspired her debut novel, Beatrice. A Small Part Of Me is Noëlle’s second novel and is also set in the area surrounding her home, as well as along the North West Pacific coast of America and Canada.
