Since the first novel in the Burren series was published, the reviews have been positive and full of acclaim. The Cora Harrison novels will be set in the context of early 16th-century western Ireland, investigating the geology, geography, history, politics, and the legal issues raised by these novels: considering an alternative law code may challenge inherited and accepted practice and open eyes and minds to a more compensatory and restorative justice system.
