Enchanting Alice

Farming, babies, sex, eccentricity; all the quirkiness and wit Anne Dunlop’s fans expect and then some!

Jane was seventeen when Michael whisked her away to the wetlands of rural Ireland – to share a farmhouse and their marriage with his mother who sleepwalks, his father who snores and an unmarried sister who hates her. It was never going to work.

Jane pulls on her wellies and keeps walking till she reaches street lighting, pavements and independence. She moves into Stove Pipe Town.

Michael stays and continues to farm – his cows will always come first. Their children are born and Jane stops missing him.

Then she goes to a rock concert. Dressed to kill in her black halter-neck frock, Jane catches the eye of the lead singer who smoulders from every poster on every lamppost in Ireland. He invites her up on the stage to dance . . .
