About this ebook
David Rory O’Neill’s The Prairie Companions is a beautiful, heartfelt, and breathtaking work of historical fiction, transporting readers to the Canadian wilds in the early years of the twentieth century. A stunning evocation of a unique time and place—and a powerfully moving story of courage, commitment, love, loss, and endurance—this unforgettable saga follows two extraordinary young women from their boarding school in Victorian England to the North American wilderness. For Pat and Clara, young friends and inseparable companions, the search for freedom and a new life together brings undreamed of challenges, uniting them with their indigenous neighbours in a continuing struggle for survival against the unrelenting cruelties of the natural world. O’Neill’s The Prairie Companions is a magnificent celebration of self-discovery and the pioneer spirit, and the poignant tale of a singular bond of love and loyalty that only grows stronger in the face of nature’s grim adversities.

What sort of writer am I?Take DH Lawrence's sensuality and sensitivity, mix in a big dollop of John Steinbeck's earthy humour and truth, spice with a dash of Joyce's inventiveness and bawdiness. Sprinkle in a spot of Becket's radical originality. Cook in a slow simmering cauldron over an Irish peat fire given extra heat by the Scots/Irish hard burning coal and dish up in a new bowl of non-conformist Belfast manufacture. That's me. These are big names to live up to but I try.I live in beautiful and splendid isolation over looking the Shannon Valley in County Clare, Ireland. I'm a bit of a cultural orphan - but thanks to the beloved B, I'm very happy in our eclectic art and book filled rural nest.
