Fiche – úrscéal le Colm Ó Ceallacháin

In the summer of 1969, on the beaches of west Cork. three young people are brought together, three people whose lives are fundamentally changed when a fourth person, the grandson of the General, joins them. Ten years later, the story ends with the General on his deathbed. This is a story of love and tragedy set in a parallel world, not very different to our own.

Colm Ó Ceallacháin lives in Cork. Two collections of short stories with him have been published, I d’Tír Mílis na mBeo (2017) and Ré na Fathach (2021). He has won Oireachtas awards, as well as awards from the Arts Council. Fiche is his first novel.
