PRESS RELEASE on Book Launch & Reading - Kate Evans
On Wednesday evening 29th Sept 2010 from 8pm to 10 pm, Kate Evans from Newfoundland will have a public reading and the Irish launch of her new novel “Where Old Ghosts Meet”...
PRESS RELEASE:
KATE EVANS, NEWFOUNDLAND NOVELIST, VISITS ATHLONE TO LAUNCH HER NOVEL WHERE OLD GHOSTS MEET
Kate Evans, whose recent novel Where Old Ghosts Meet has made a splash for itself in Newfoundland, will attend the midland Irish launch of her novel, as well as read from it, in The International College for Personal and Professional Development, 3 Garden Vale, Athlone, on Wednesday 29 September next at 8pm.
The entirely fictional central character of the novel will be a familiar enough creation from rural turn-of-the-twentieth century Ireland: Matthew Molloy, bright and educated, longs to leave behind his miserable existence on a small farm. He yields to pressure and sets aside his dream until one day, he walks away, leaving his wife and small son to fend for themselves. In the summer of 1971, his granddaughter Nora finds herself in Shoal Cove, Newfoundland, where Peg Barry reveals the secrets of Matthew’s reclusive life. The story slips back and forth between Ireland in the early 1900s, a country struggling to rediscover its identity and restore its nationhood, and Newfoundland in the 1940s, a country about to relinquish its nationhood and join Canada.
Kate’s fellow writers have played glowing tributes to Where Old Ghosts Meet. Lisa Moore, author of Alligator and February, finds the novel: “Romantic and dark, full of intricate secrets, betrayal, bitterness, and redemptive love. Kate Evans vividly unveils the mysteries of family …. Here are passionate, complex characters, very much alive – they will last." – Lillian Bouzane, author of In the Hands of the Living God, whose poetry was included in the Ireland- Newfoundland Poetry Anthology The Backyards of Heaven by Westmeath editor John Ennis, praises the female creations in the novel: "Nora goes to Newfoundland in search of her long lost Irish grandfather but it is Peg Barry she finds. Peg is as complex and rounded a character as ever you would want to meet… a familiar story, but few have told it in a language as rich and as precise as Kate Evans." John Doyle, author of A Great Feast of Light and The World Is A Ball, sums up Kate’s novel like this: “A splendid, gripping story, a mystery, deftly told and with a fine sense of both Ireland and Newfoundland …. Nora is a character to love and Matthew Molloy is a magnificent creation, a maddening, intriguing fella to the end."
So, why not come along to The International College for Personal and Professional Development , Athlone, on Wednesday the 29th to hear more about this “intriguing fella”, Nora, Peg and others as well as to meet their creator, author Kate Evans, who is also reading from her novel in Dublin and in Galway as part of an Irish tour.
Admission is free and there is ample free car parking opposite the college.

We are in the middle of a national crisis. People simply don’t know where to turn to for help. More people are in negative equity than ever before. The courts are full with cases where people owe money they do not have. Home repossessions are now a reality. These are deeply uncertain times. Health professionals are alarmed at the rise in suicides.
