Here’s a marvellous just-published novel by London-based Irish writer Margaret Mulvihill. A cross-genre treat, an emigrant’s tale and a female Western. Think Colm Toibin’s “Brooklyn” combined with the Klondyke gold rush; a headlong historical rush with sex, syphilis and lovely lucid language. See http://mfmulvihill.wordpress.com/
