Darerca

Rate this book
Darerca is the sister of Saint Patrick and a holy woman in her own right.

It's said that she married twice and that her seventeen sons became bishops and that her daughters also followed saintly paths. The tale opens in the late 4th century before sweeping into the 5th and closing in the 6th just as the monasteries were growing stronger.

The story is an expansion of my earlier work 'Paddy' and indeed may incorporate that fine work.

A tale of early Ireland.

From the author of Paddy, King Brian, The Scribe, The Nationalists, Exile, and Vigilis,The Soaring Spirit and Land of Our Father amongst others.
