Listen back: Local author Mary Crowley joins Mary "On the Fringe" ahead of her book launch

Mary says she's loved writing since she was very young, and the idea for "A Sweet Smell of Strawberries" came to her after a tragic road accident in Ireland that really resonated with her.

The book will be launched at The Book Centre in Waterford at 6.30pm on Friday September 28th.
