Devorgilla Days

We all need a Devorgilla Cottage somewhere in our hearts and in our imaginations. This is a book about survival and renewal and sheer willpower. – Kirsty WarkSo beautifully written and so enchanting I feel quite bereft having reached the end… So many achievements all wrapped in one beautiful narrative. It’s heaven. – Alexander ArmstrongA magical and beautifully written memoir and so evocative of Wigtown and its landscape. * Ruth Hogan, author of THE KEEPER OF LOST THINGS *From renovating her cottage to exploring the seemingly quiet, but actually bustling town, she encounters a whole community of book lovers, beekeepers, artists and writers and lobster fishermen throughout the book. Furthermore, Kathleen starts wild swimming, a ritual that brings peace and clarity to her mind as her body heals. * Irish Times *

Kathleen Hart was educated at a convent school in Cheshire before experimenting with various occupations from air hostess to antiques dealer, but her favourite so far is author. She does her best writing in a whitewashed cottage in Scotland where she keeps bees, swims in the sea and every day encourages thousands of her PoshPedlar Instagram followers to ‘make room for the magic’.
