With All My Soul by Pamela O'Cuneen (publication date 15 April 2025)
Imagine finding the love of your life, but they are utterly unreachable.
Pamela is a young Australian, not long out of convent school, trying to forge a life of adventure, culture and self-reliance by travelling through Europe. There, in a sunlit lecture hall in Perugia in 1968, she meets Kieran O'Cuneen, an Irish Catholic missionary priest whose conviction and charm captivate her soul. They fall in love, but Kieran’s vows to the Church stand between them.
When Kieran returns to his duties in Africa, severing all ties, Pamela is cast adrift in London. She immerses herself in a new life of work, friendships, and fleeting romances, yet her heart belongs to Kieran, and his absence devastates her life.
With All My Soul is a true story, but it isn't just a memoir. It's a portrait of a changing world, and a deeply moving exploration of the agony of separation, the power of faith, and the choices that shape our destiny.
