Nuala O'Connor reads from 'Seaborne' in Kennys Bookshop, April 2024

It is always a pleasure for us to welcome author Nuala O'Connor into Kennys. Here she reads from her novel 'Seaborne', the intimate and thrilling portrayal of the life of 18th-century Irishwoman, Anne Bonny.
The book was published in April 2024 by New Island Books.

Praise for the book:
‘Seaborne is a rollicking triumph of passion, and a powerful portrayal of Irish pirate, Anne Bonny–a true original. Faultless in tone, this novel is a wonderfully rendered reimagining of a great historical figure, and confirms (what I already knew) that O’Connor is one of Ireland’s leading historical novelists. Filled with desire, ambition, bravery and soul, this novel is a wonderful achievement.’
— ELAINE FEENEY
‘Readers can hear the snap of sails and smell the tang of sea salt in this immersive novel about the buccaneering Anne Bonny - an irrepressible and irresistible protagonist.’
— MARTINA DEVLIN
‘What an immense pleasure it was to read and what a gorgeous and perfect ending. I love how Nuala has given a full fictive life to this incredible woman, and the women she loved, showing us how ‘they cut their own paths. Knew their hearts.’ This book, like Anne’s life, is a fabulous voyage, a wonderful, buoyant tale, sublimely imagined and beautifully told.’
— DONAL RYAN
