At this year’s Dingle Lit book festival Carol Drinkwater connected with audiences from her home in the South of France to discuss her fourth novel, An Act of Love, a sweeping and evocative love story about bravery and courage following a young woman forced to flee war-ravaged Poland during World War II, taking refuge in the French Alps. As the Nazis advance and the family are in peril, romance blossoms and difficult choices have to be made. Author Kate Mosse called the book, “A lovely novel. A moving story of love and friendship with a wonderful sense of place.”
Carol Drinkwater is a multi-award-winning actress who is best known for her portrayal of Helen Herriot in the BBC television series All Creatures Great and Small. While working in Australia, Drinkwater wrote her first book, a children’s book called The Haunted School. She has since written further children’s books and seen The Haunted School produced as a television mini-series and later bought by Disney and edited into a film which won the Chicago International Film Festival Gold Award for Children’s Films. It was through this that she met her husband, French filmmaker Michel Noll, and relocated to Provence. Her quartet of memoirs set on her olive farm in the south of France have sold over a million copies worldwide and her solo journey round the Mediterranean in search of the olive tree’s mythical secrets inspired a five-part documentary film series, The Olive Route. She is also the author of novels The Forgotten Summer, The Lost Girl and The House on the Edge of the Cliff.
Paula Shields is a writer, researcher, and interviewer. An arts journalist since the 1990s, she has worked in London, Galway and Dublin in print, TV and now radio – on Arena, RTÉ’s flagship arts show.
