The Ironman
by Mairead Rooney
Description
A tender love story set during the building of Dublin’s iconic Ha’penny Bridge in 1816, Mairead Rooney’s debut novel THE IRONMAN is a beautiful portrayal of finding intimacy in the face of grief, and will appeal to readers of the historical fiction of Emma Donoghue or Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn.
