Lost Garden - Softcover

Kate Kerrigan was born in Scotland to Irish parents and reared in London. She began her career in journalism at the age of nineteen rising to become editor of various publications before moving to Ireland in 1990 to relaunch Irish Tatler. After ten years working in Dublin, she fulfilled her dream of moving to the west coast of Ireland to become a full-time author. Living in the picturesque village of Killala, she has two sons Leo and Tom with husband Niall. She writes most days in a small cottage in her mother's back garden and loves to take day trips in her camper van. She also writes a weekly column for the Irish Mail about her life as a mother and writer. Her novels include Recipes for a Perfect Marriage (which was shortlisted for the 2006 Romantic Novel of the Year Award), Miracle of Grace. Ellis Island, the first book in her trilogy featuring Ellie Hogan, was a TV Book Club Summer Read. The stunning story of Ellie Hogan was continued in City of Hope and Land of Dreams.
