Céad Míle Fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes)
Step into the warm and wonderful world of Jean Grainger’s Ireland.
The kettle is always on, and the door is always open. Historian, teacher and natural storyteller, Jean Grainger brings the people of Ireland and the Irish diaspora to life. In both Irish historical fiction and contemporary stories, you’ll meet and connect with warm-hearted, well drawn characters as they deal with everything life throws at them. Jean believes in the innate goodness of people (though she writes some truly awful villains too of course!) and as you read, you realise that regardless of where or how we live, there is far more uniting us than dividing us. Jean’s characters feel like friends and linger in your memory long after the final page.

The woman behind the books
Jean wasn’t always a writer – but she was a talker and a storyteller. Born and raised in Cork, she’s been a tour guide, a historian and a teacher. In all those roles, she has connected with people to share her love of her country and its history. Now, she does the same through her books.
