The café is hers. Barely.
Brigid Callahan has run The Strand Café in Ballinderry, County Clare, for fifteen years - through a divorce, through raising her son alone, through every difficult November when the tourists leave and the numbers don't add up. The café is the thing she built when everything else fell apart, and she is not going to lose it without a fight.
Then two things happen at once: a developer makes an offer on the building, and a stranger arrives in the village with a coat that used to be expensive and nothing left to lose.
Mal Hennessy was one of Dublin's most celebrated chefs before a forty-three-second video destroyed everything. He came to Ballinderry to hide. He found a woman defending a café that sits, as it turns out, on something far more significant than anyone knew.
Set in a stone-walled café on the West Clare coast - with its ancient cellar, its view of the Atlantic, and its fifteen years of bread and soup and women coming in from the cold - You Deserve This Fire is a novel about what we build, what we fight for, and what we find when we stop running from ourselves.
Perfect for readers of Marian Keyes, Cathy Kelly, and Jojo Moyes.
