Ireland 590 A.D.

A woman is found by a track, nearly dead from appalling wounds and remembers nothing. Her terror and her injuries are so great that she is given sanctuary in Mother Gobnait's unusual community of nuns, while all around her a war is being waged in which she is a pawn. The women name her Aine.

Disturbing fragments of ine's memory begin to surface, and in desperation she asks to remain in the safety of the community, but is it really safe for her anywhere?

It is only after events take another terrible turn that ine is forced to discover who she really is and make life-changing choices - but will they prove to be her undoing?

A literary novel inspired by real women - complex female characters who strain against the cruel chains and crippling prejudices of a society where no woman has power. Except, perhaps, one...

Kristin Gleeson has performed with admirable deftness the difficult trick of sweeping the reader back in time to the distant emotional and physical landscapes of 6th century Ireland. The result is a highly readable and continuously rewarding novel that the reader does not want to end--Tim Weed, author of Will Poole's Island

I found in this well-told story, the first strokes of paint on the huge, mostly blank, canvas that is our image and perception of our Irish or Gaelic past - the canvas of our increasingly dispossessed native culture. I found myself drawn into a realm that felt oddly familiar and full of cultural touchstones of the indigenous Irish past, faint echoes of which still linger in parts of this island today.In Praise of the Bees is a good read.

I felt cute
Gorgeous. Little snug for the jacket for recommended size but I got 6 months to lose some stomach to fit better LOL I don't blame the jacket.

Color is not accurate
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Suit quality is good. This is NOT dark grey. Its a very standard grey when you have it in person. I might return just for this reason as we were really looking for a dark grey suit.

Stylish, Well-Made, and Comfortable!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
I recently purchased this 3-piece suit for my grandson, and I’m very impressed with the quality and fit. The fabric feels durable yet soft, and the tailoring gives it a sharp, modern look without feeling too stiff. The vest adds a classic touch and elevates the overall style. The sizing was accurate, and the suit was comfortable to wear for long hours at work and events. The jacket, pants, and vest all coordinate perfectly, and I appreciate the attention to detail, like the lining and buttons. Whether you’re attending a wedding, business meeting, or formal event, this suit looks expensive without breaking the bank. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile, stylish 3-piece suit!

Perfect Fit and Great Quality!
Size: 4, Color: Vest Pants Set-black 2, Size: 4, Color: Vest Pants Set-black 2
I love this set! It came with everything included shirt, vest, pants, tie, and bow tie which made it a fantastic value. I bought it for my grandson, who is a tall 3-year-old (3’9 and 41lbs), so I usually size up and got a size 4. It fit him perfectly! The quality is excellent well made with great fabric not a stretchy material and it looked absolutely adorable on him. I would definitely buy this again. Great price for what you get!
