Absolutely captivated by Anna Abney (Madeline Dewhurst)’s reading and conversation with Ella Daly today as part of this year’s Limerick Literary Festival. Her latest novel, “The Prisoner of Measham Hall”, is set in part during the siege of Limerick of 1690 and Patrick Sarsfield features in it. 1/2

A pleasure to welcome Delphine Minoui to Limerick today on behalf of the French embassy as part of the 2025 @limericklitfest.bsky.social. A real privilege to hear her deeply moving account of how a group of young Syrians resisted against the Assad regime through their love of literature.
