A Glassful of Letters
A novel by esteemed Irish author Evelyn Conlon. Friendship, love, isolation, and one woman's quiet bravery are at the heart of this story from one of Ireland's most distinctive and energetic voices. Originally published in 1998 to strong reviews: the Irish Independent called it "Engaging and bursting with untrammelled humanity."

Moving about the Place
This new collection of eleven stories by one of Ireland's most important writers brings together the best of Evelyn Conlon's work from the last ten years, and a number of new stories, including a novella-length story. In this collection, Conlon vividly imagines her characters in the wider world, whether it be Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Italy, Monaco or a house, with two drills of vegetables, in Skerries. A man and woman must wander around the equator because of a lie they told during the anti-apartheid days; a man holds out in a border-straddling tree; a Hiroshima woman decides to get pregnant after surviving the bomb; an Irishwoman attempts to assassinate Mussolini, another fights for women's suffrage in Australia.

Not the Same Sky tells the story of Honora, Julia, Bridget and Anne.
