The Home Scar, Kathleen MacMahon’s fourth novel, opens with a local news story. A journalist at the Connacht Tribune receives a tip about the uncovering of a “drowned forest” following a storm that travelled from North America to Ireland’s west coast, and his report — a few lines accompanying the photograph of the exposed stumps on page three — gradually makes its way from national to international news.
