Novelist asks public to vote on return home

AN Irish novelist living in France for 10 years is asking the public to decide her future by voting on if she should return home.

Liz Ryan, from Dublin, quit her job, sold her house and moved to a remote hamlet in Normandy in 2001 after she got fed up with the hectic life of the Celtic Tiger boom.

However, after a decade in a picturesque French village enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle she is missing home.
