What is recorded here
Mary Fortune is a birthplace in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps she arrived on July 29, 1832, breathing salt air that later filled detective stories written far from home. Maybe her childhood streets still hold the shape of her imagination, waiting for someone to walk them and remember.
