About the Book
 
Claire O’Connor’s life has been on hold since she broke up with Tom Morton and moved from cosmopolitan London back home to the rugged West of Ireland to care for her dying father. But snatches of her old life are sure to follow her, when Tom unexpectedly moves nearby for work. As Claire is thrown back into a love she thought she’d left behind, she questions if Tom has come for her or for himself.

Living in her childhood home brings its own challenges. While Claire tries to maintain a normal life – obsessing over the internet, going to work and minding her own business – Tom’s return stirs up haunting family memories trapped within the walls of the old house that looms nearby.

Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way is a story of love and resilience, rich with history and drama, and the legacies of violence and redemption. As the secrets of the past are revealed, Claire must confront whether she can escape her history to make a future for herself – and whether finding yourself means facing yourself too.

PRAISE FOR LET ME GO MAD IN MY OWN WAY 
 

A superb, multi-generational story told in stunning, poetic prose. Elaine Feeney is one of Irish literature's most gifted and persuasive storytellers.
SINÉAD GLEESON

This book touched my soul... A perfect depiction of the
complicated relationships we have with ourselves and our histories.

KATRIONA O'SULLIVAN

A driven, tenacious, and probing narrative, made up of deeply expressive sentences that bristle and ache. Curious, sensitive, and unfeignedly visceral, Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way packs an intellectual and emotional punch...
CLAIRE-LOUISE BENNETT

One of the finest writers of her generation... a brilliant exploration of how violence, oppression and hatred, both personal and political, can warp and overshadow a life... Feeney will break your heart with her characters but she will also lovingly put it back together again.
