Description
Magpie in the Tower is the story of an author who, at a pivotal time in her life, reluctantly accepts the use of a Martello Tower in Ireland in which to live and write. Sheila soon comes to love this misty, mysterious and historic country and to appreciate her neighbours; their love of history, their ability to enjoy life and their open friendliness. She also discovers that the lives of her new-found friends are often more complex than they seem at first glance.
