Book
The Unkillable Kitty O’kane
First published 2017
Kitty O'Kane grows up in the Dublin tenements and escapes to America aboard the Titanic, surviving a disaster that would have ended most lives. In New York she encounters the suffrage movement and new possibilities for women, but circumstance continues to carry her toward the political upheavals reshaping Europe.
Kitty witnesses revolutionary Russia, the First World War and Ireland's struggle for independence before the Civil War. Her repeated escapes make her a survivor rather than a passive observer, while the relationships she forms test whether constant reinvention can provide a lasting home.
