Sea Crow Press Announces Trespassers

CAPE COD, Mass. - Feb. 11, 2025 - PRLog -- Sea Crow Press is delighted to announce Trespassers And Other Stories by Irish American immigrant writer Áine Greaney, available March 4, 2025. From coastal Massachusetts to rural Ireland, the characters in Trespassers struggle to reconcile past and present, place and displacement, loss and hope.

About the Book
A woman travels from her Massachusetts home to her native Irish village to care for her estranged and sick father. Back in her childhood home, she comes face-to-face with previously unspoken losses.

A wealthy couple travels to Cape Cod to spend their 52nd summer on the wife's ancestral estate. On their private beach above Nantucket Sound, the husband must confront the realities of their long marriage and its social-class tensions.

An Irish immigrant takes her American-born teen to a raucous Boston house party. At that party, the teenager discovers that her mother had lied about her child's birth father—a lie that will permanently divide the mother and daughter.

Advance Reviews
"Simultaneously rife with nostalgia for home and the fierce desire for success in Cape Cod and greater Boston, Greaney's collection is an exemplary illustration of the Irish immigrant presence in New England."
Ellen Scheible, Professor of English at Bridgewater State University and author of Body Politics in Contemporary Irish Women's fiction: The Literary Legacy of Mother Ireland.

"One woman feels that there is 'a constant scrim between herself and the world;'another reveals that 'dark things flit around the edges of her mind, like a wasp at the window.' They  are indeed trespassers into awkward emotional terrains—and their successes are usually triumphs of adaptation and endurance."
James Silas Rogers, author of Irish-American Autobiography: Divided Hearts

"A collection of stories to savor."
Michael Quinlin, author of Irish Boston
