The last moments of JG Farrell's life remembered

Marie-Louise Muir | 16:19 UK time, Thursday, 20 May 2010

The late Liverpool Irish writer JG Farrell's name is all across the papers today. His novel "Troubles" has won the prize. I'm talking to his brother Richard and one of the judges Rachel Cooke tonight. But I found while doing some research.ÌýAn incredible storyÌýabout a woman called Pauline Foley, who sawÌýhim die. She had taken her children out for a walk near their County Cork home in August 1979, when she saw the writer, who was fishing,Ìýslip in the water and drown. She only spoke out about it recently and her first hand account is chilling and painful.
