“While reading this book, in my mind I could clearly see the beautiful and charming French cobblestone streets with the timber houses, they were brought to life so perfectly & could even smell taste the lovely treats that were been made daily in the bakery.”

 Betwixt

An atmospheric short story set in the Irish countryside.

Catherine returns to Hollowbrook Cottage on a cold November night, looking to escape her present life and lose herself in the past. However, her journey crosses the path of a mysterious stranger who will change her life forever.

As a lover of the Connemara area I was immediately struck by how well the author conjured up the sights and smells of the place. I was transported there much to my delight. Add in the other worldliness of the story and I was hooked. I didn’t want the story to end which is the problem with short stories and great writing – they leave you wanting more.

Amazon Reviewer *****

Betwixt is a half hour read and the author writes a convincing setting and well-rounded characters from the first sentence. Catherine is trying to revisit the past by booking Hollowtree Cottage but it’s out of season, the weather is foul and her trip takes a turn for the worse before she even finds the cottage. In the dark she comes across a stranger who changes everything for her.

This is a beautifully descriptive and well-told story and I thoroughly enjoyed Gaughan’s writing style. The atmosphere builds wonderfully throughout and although I thought I could see the likely outcome it was such an enjoyable read the ending still satisfied. This is an excellent introduction to this authors work and I highly recommend.
