Scéal Ghearóid Iarla (Winner – Gradam Uí Shúilleabháin 2011)

A prize-winning jewel of a novel from the pen of one of Ireland’s finest poets, telling the story of a man close to the poet’s own heart – Garret FitzGerald, 3rd Earl of Desmond (1335-1398), chieftain, viceroy, poet, and a man who loved women – the man baptized by the Irish as ‘Gearóid Iarla’.
