Evelyn Waugh thought she was a saint, Bernard Levin said she was a witch, and she described herself as ‘Muriel the Marvel with her X-ray eyes’. Following the clues, riddles, and instructions Spark planted for posterity in her biographies, fiction, autobiography and archives, Frances Wilson aims to crack her code.

Embark on an extraordinary odyssey through the annals of Irish time and place—this is "Under A Burren Moon," a poetic anthology that echoes the whispers and roars of an island steeped in lore, love, and lament. Capturing the mystical essence of the Emerald Isle, this collection sweeps across epochs and landscapes—from the enigmatic Tuatha Dé Danann to the valiant Cú Chulainn, from the artistic marvels of the Book of Kells to the advent of Viking and Norman settlers, and from the soul-crushing Great Famine to the intricate fabric of modern Irish life.

In the heart of Paris, where art and ambition intertwine, the boundaries between genius and madness blur. A tale of creation, obsession, and the quest for perfection, this story dances on the edge of brilliance.

As the canvas comes to life, so too does a world where nothing is as it seems, and the cost of true artistry might just be too high. Balzac's story whispers of the fine line between genius and obsession, where the artist's soul is as fragile as the masterpiece he seeks.
