Description

Ghost Light is a vivid and imaginative reimagining of a pivotal love affair between two creative minds. Joseph O'Connor's novel brings to life the tumultuous relationship between Molly Allgood, a young actress with big dreams, and John Millington Synge, a troubled genius struggling to find his place in the world.

Their passionate and often quarrelsome romance is set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Ireland, where convention and tradition held sway. Years later, Molly's life is marked by poverty and loneliness, but her memories of Synge remain a source of comfort and pain.

This powerful and poignant novel explores the enduring power of love and creativity to shape our lives, even in the face of adversity.
