Her ability to use writing as a coping mechanism, transforming negativity into something impactful, is truly inspiring. I also think her writing style is very captivating (I will definitely buy The Fire Starters :))."
"Jan Carson´s speaking and reading was very inspiring. Especially her transformation from a very segregated way of life into an inclusive one. She shared many personal experiences, and we were able to have some deep insights into her life. I´m thankful for that. In my opinion her work has a great value for our society."
"I think that the session with Jan Carson was very interesting and insightful. Not only were her books well-written, but she also shared her personal experience and upbringing in the Troubles in an inspiring and impactful way."
"Jan Carson's reading was truly impressive and it was interesting and very touching to learn about the experiences of someone who has experienced the Troubles. I also liked the parts she read from her books (especially the part from Quickly, while they still have horses) and I think that her writing style is very captivating."
"Jan Carson's reading was incredible; she really knows how to grab your attention. At first, The Fire Starters didn't click with me, but once she shared the inspiration behind it, using Greek myths to talk about the Troubles, I was hooked and eager to read more."
"I enjoyed the session very much. Hearing her own experiences, especially regarding the time after the Good Friday agreement helped give me a whole new perspective. Two points that stood out for me the most were hearing reports about modern society in northern Ireland, highlighting the state of todays schools (segregation), as well as hearing about the term ceasefire babies and its meaning."
