Dublin-born Elaine Crowley is one of Ireland’s finest living female writers. She began writing when her six children had all left home, and her work is known for its wistful elegance and intimacy, focusing on historical Dublin and Ireland.
The first novel she published was the bestselling Dreams of Other Days (1984), and since then she has produced several successful romance novels, including The Ways of Women (1993), A Family Cursed (1996), the critically acclaimed Wayward Angel (1998), and most recently The Young Wives (2002). She has already published two volumes of her autobiography – Cowslips and Chainies: Memoir of Dublin in the 1930s (1996) and A Dublin Girl: Growing Up in the 1930s (1998) – and is working on the third volume, which covers her 52-year marriage to the late war hero David Crowley. Elaine lives in Port Talbot.
