Set in an Ireland invaded by Normans, George Nash has crafted a stirring tale full of twists and turns for the engaging protagonists, Huw and Bridin. This is a real page-turner in which the emotions of times past live again. Kevin Foley, twice winner at Listowel Writers Week. George Nash has written a vigorous story set in 12th century Hiberno-Norman Munster, a place and time which has too rarely been depicted in Irish fiction. Here is a great tale of violence and intrigue. Sean Moraghan, author of Days of the Blackthorn: Faction Fighters of County Kerry.

Author Information

George Nash is originally from Tipperary and now lives on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland. The name Nash is of Norman origin (de Náis in Irish). Some sources say that Nash families came to Ireland with the first Normans in 1169. George has always been fascinated with how the Welsh-Norman people integrated into Irish life. Uneasy Quest is the first in a series set during the early Norman settlement period. The novels chronicle the lives of settler families as they struggle to integrate and make their homes in Ireland. Their life and death stories intermingle with real historical characters and events. When not writing, George can be found on Castlegregory Golf Links and supporting Munster Rugby.
