More About the Author
Veronica Geoghegan Sweeney was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1949. Her father died when she was sixteen and a year later her sister, Margo, aged twenty four, died of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The loss of people she loved and the destruction of her close-knit family affected her, and probably adds, she says, to a strong sense of family, or the search for family and 'belonging', in all her novels.
Veronica failed first year law studies and then, encouraged by her mother, Elizabeth, she decided to concentrate on what she felt she did best, writing, acting and classical music. "Consequently I have lived with penury most of my life," but would not have it any other way. She loves travelling - "I've dragged my mother, my daughter and my granddaughter, separately or together, half-way 'round the world on more than one occasion" - and now lives in Ireland. Her first novel, The Emancipist, was published in 1985; this was followed by South lies the Valley (1988), A Turn of the Blade (1996), Dark Obsession (1999) and Dark Lord of Geeragh in 2000.
Readers can follow Veronica's blog-of-sorts on Facebook at Veronica Geoghegan Sweeney. Her mystery novel, The Summer Place, set in New Brunswick, Canada, and her two fantasy novels, Dark Lord of Geeragh and Dead Pirates and the Exceptional Children are available on Kindle. She is currently uploading her first novel, The Emancipist, which will be available in October, 2011.

This book stays on my book shelf,
By A Customer
This review is from: South Lies the Valley (Paperback)
I loved this book. I orginally bought it at a thrift store thinking it would be a quick, easy romance. It wasn't, but that only made it better! The main characters are human, make mistakes, and own up to their responsibilities. I read it, loaned it out to my sister, then wanted to read it again. I gave it four stars because I didn't like the ending. I like my stories to end with a nice little package, tied with string. But, I really enjoyed it, and will keep it to read again in the future.
