Patricia was shortlisted for the Encore Award with her self-published edition of THE RECKONING'. The fact that her writing career began when she was seventy-three, and that her story is one of the triumph of talent and determination makes her hugely promotable. Although the novel is largely set in Beirut - and the city is brilliantly, captivatingly described - like THE RECKONING, it's really the story of a family: about loss, reconciliation and loyalty. 'Quite simply, this is an amazing book. All of the big issues are here: love and family, war and chaos, loyalty and blood. Set in Beirut during the final days of the civil war, Tyrrell manages to paint a picture of the everyday chaos of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. One of the most interesting and original books I have read in years...' Janine di GiovanniPatricia Tyrrell is the author of 'Grandmother Wolf' with ISBN 9780297848134 and ISBN 0297848135.
