Tish Delaney was born and brought up in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles. Like a lot of people of her generation, she left the sectarian violence behind by moving to England. After graduating from Manchester University, she moved to London and worked on various magazines and broadsheets as a reporter, reviewer and sub-editor. She left the Financial Times in 2014 to live in the Channel Islands to pursue her career as a writer. Before My Actual Heart Breaks, her debut novel, was published by Hutchinson Heinemann in 2021.
This is in many ways a familiar story but it is told in such a
fresh, entertaining, funny and moving way, it felt like I was
reading something brand new.
*Roddy Doyle*
Two pages into this book you know you've unlocked something special
. . . the book is brightened up plenty by sunshine characters and
the magnificence of Tyrone nature . . . Tish knows what she's
talking about.
*Irish Examiner*
A really lovely book. I loved reading it.
*Mariella Frostrup*
Delaney's writing is a beautiful wave flowing lyrically through the
life of Mary Rattigan. A touching tale of how one woman survives a
tough beginning to eventually end up exactly where her heart
belongs.
*Anne Griffin author of WHEN ALL IS SAID*
I did not expect this debut to turn into the most exquisite love
story, but it did, and I was besotted.
*Red*
