IRISH GHOST, ENGLISH ACCENT is the story of a mother who has a diagnosis of severe paranoid schizophrenia, the daughter she is denied custody of and their mutual decision to go on the run together.
It's the second eNovel from Graham Jones who last year wrote TRAVELLER WEDDING and who is also an award-winning Irish director responsible for independent movies like FUDGE 44 and HOW TO CHEAT IN THE LEAVING CERTIFICATE.
'There's something about mother-daughter relationships I find particularly interesting,' Jones says. 'A female has given birth to another female who one day will probably give birth herself. There's a chance for incredible empathy. But such relationships are often fraught, squandered. I wanted to explore that.'
