How does Newfoundland inspire author Damhnait Monaghan? On all about canadian books we’re going to find out...

But before we do…be sure to subscribe to my channel for the latest author interviews and the stories behind their books. 

Hi! My name is crystal fletcher. Welcome to all about canadian books! This week’s guest is Damhnait Monaghan. Damhnait  grew up in Ontario and Newfoundland & Labrador. She's a former teacher and lawyer and an award-winning flash fiction writer. Damhnait  currently resides in the south of England with her husband, two teens and dogs. 

We chatted about her debut novel New Girl in Little Cove, which was published by Harper Collins. 

It’s 1985. When new teacher Rachel O’Brien arrives in a tiny fishing village, seeking a fresh start after her father dies and her relationship ends, she realizes the most important lessons are the ones she learns outside the classroom. 

From the anonymous notes that keep appearing on her car, telling her to GO HOME, the charm of Newfoundland’s distinctive music and culture, budding feelings for fellow teacher Doug to a clash with church and community that throws her career into jeopardy. 

Let’s just say…it’s quite a year for Rachel O’Brien and you’ll have to read New Girl in the Cove to find out what ‘come from away’ Rachel learns.
