Cork Author Natasha Karis speaks about her Book ‘The Initiates’, a large part of the story is located in the town of Knockfarrig which is loosely based on the East Cork town of Youghal. “It’s about a teacher who finds a note while overseeing a series of detentions with 5 Leaving Cert students. The note is expressing the person's intention to end their life. Only one of them could have written it. She decides to teach them what she wished she knew when she was their age. It's an emotional read that deals with many issues from the different characters. I've been told it's a page turner with many people saying they had to finish it in one sitting.”
