Episode notes
Geologist Amanda Geard has written her debut novel, The Midnight House. Immersive, with an incredibly strong sense of place, the book tells the story of Lady Charlotte Rathmore who went missing in 1940, and that of Ellie Fitzgerald who looks to unravel the mystery in 2019.
Amanda joins Richard and Judy to discuss how her geology knowledge helped her write both the novel’s central grand house, and south-west Ireland, in such vivid detail. Plus, Amanda talks about how the renovation of her own home in County Kerry unearthed some moving local history.
