Produktbeschreibung
After a barn fire, Ivy Doyle returns to her seaside hometown to keep her niece, Wren, safe. In a drawer she finds old cassette tapes-women from before speaking into the dark about what they witnessed and what they left alone. As Ivy listens, the present tilts: trespasses repeat, apologies arrive too late, and Wren knows more than a child should. The mystery isn't who lit the match, but why everyone kept passing it along. Where the Fire Started is a lyrical, unsentimental novel about witness and repair-the ordinary bravery it takes to keep someone safe-and the fierce hope that survives after harm. For readers of Celeste Ng, Tana French, Claire Keegan, and Sarah Winman. Themes: witness & consent; intergenerational care; small-town complicity; community repair. Content guidance: non-graphic domestic harm, fire, grief. Tagline: "A town that keeps passing the match. A woman who won't."
Autorenporträt
About the Author Laura Carpenter writes cinematic, emotionally charged romance and thrillers with Irish heart, razor-edged stakes, and lived-in tenderness. Her stories blend love and danger, intimacy and aftermath-where every bruise has meaning and every act of mercy leaves a mark. Born and raised in Dublin and Belfast, Laura builds entire worlds rooted in realism, resilience, and the quiet power of connection. Her work explores the edges of devotion-how far we'll go to protect the people and places we love, and what forgiveness really costs when the storm clears. When she isn't finishing another book, she's already plotting the next one-usually over strong tea, soft music, and too many notes in the margins.
