Her reading is perpetual motion. Every aspect of life recorded in words finds a place on her shelves - interest in people - their whys, hows, whens...The common theme is interiority and that innerscape of the human being which has a way of seeping out into the real lived world of everyday events, everyday routines.
It is more than thoughts exploration. Marie's reading digs into the areas authors like to hint at, characters try to conceal. The palette covers the full spectrum of colour from the dim moody grey of inertia and despair to the bright hopeful promise of energy, life itself.
In her writing, we see and hear echoes of the life around the beautiful Irish landscape where two Provinces meet, three of the 32 counties unite and two jurisdictions merge in an east coast sea lough - the homeland of Kings and Queens of fact and fiction. And a place of departure to America for many who attempted to live a better life in times of hardship.
