Reviews
****'An engaging, romantic and heartfelt tale, Finding Mr Flood completes a hat-trick of successes for Geraghty.'
'With a cast of characters who are both likeable (if flawed) and believable, this is a lovely mix of romance, heartbreak, angst and ultimately happy endings'
Praise for Ciara Geraghty
So funny and so much fun, it's impossible to believe it's Geraghty's first . . . Warm , moving and hilarious.
Perfect pace and plenty of banter help Geraghty's debut hit the right balance between hilariously funny and poignant . . . accessible and charming.
Move over Marian, it's Ciara . . . impressive and highly entertaining [with] one of the most authentic female characters I've read in women's fiction for a long time . . . lots of biting humour and a darker side beneath the laughs.
'This laugh out loud page-turner is full of characters you long to know . . . This delicious debut cannot fail to enchant the young, and the young at heart.'
'A touching story of a flawed but loveable heroine'
Witty, sharp and intelligent . . . a great way to switch off at the end of the day
Quirky characters, heart-rending turnarounds and an ending that's far from traditional
