Wonderful Sue!! You are so lucky to have these photos!! It inspires me to keep after the stories of my 2 Irish great grandmothers, one from Leitrim and the other from Wexford. That’s my next trip to Ireland.
As for the text, I might suggest a factual outline, real places, then flesh it out with dialog etc.
I’m thinking of My Dream of You by Nuala O’Faolin. (Sp) She weaves a true famine story around her own biography. Been a long time since I’ve read it but she’s a fascinating writer anyway. Also wrote Are You Somebody?

Thanks, Kate — interesting idea, and I will look into that story. It sounds intriguing!
I have to read the story about the chauffeur! Where is it, Sue Bop?

Well done! The story is captivating and I know you will find your way to weave a balance of facts and mystery. Great photos.
Thank you, Mia! I sent you a response through WhatsApp. I don't know if you're still using it now that you're back from the trip across the pond!
