Fontenoy

In the archives of the French town of Chartres some printed pages from the 18th Century were discovered, and a reference to the mysterious author of these printers’ proofs, Captain Seán Ó Raghallaigh. Set in and around the battle of Fontenoy 1745, Liam Mac Cóil’s masterful novel explores the writing of history, and the points of view of the writer.

Fontenoy was awarded the Gradam Uí Shúilleabháin ‘Book of the Year’ and is now in its third edition.
