TOM MAC INTYRE, born in Cavan in 1931, is the author of many works of fiction, poetry and plays, including Stories of the Wandering Moon (2000) and The Great Hunger and The Gallant John-Joe (2002)
‘Tom Mac Intyre’s wildly eloquent novel reads at times like Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood re-written by someone who has spent years reading Finnegan’s Wake. Here we are offered one voice that is unmistakably Irish and the accent is definitely Mac Intyre’s.’ Tome Widger, Sunday Tribune ‘Story of a Girl is a lyrical journey through an Ireland of another time. As you might expect from a writer of Mac Intyre’s stature the prose here flows naturally with a delicious, almost poetic, rhythm, that sweeps the reader along with ease. English jostles with snatches of French, Irish and Latin in a highly sophisticated yet eminently readable, almost sensual, manner. You’re in the hands of a master.’ – Mary Conroy, Ireland on Sunday
