So sad! One article I read said she had a final novel in the pipeline, in the editing stage.
This is a nice writeup that mentions my favorite novel, The Glass Lake:

A quote from it that describes what I loved about her stories:
Quote:

What I loved about her books was their big-heartedness, their friendliness – the way you could sink into them and emerge, hours later, still half in the world of a small Irish village, usually one from a time before I was born; Light a Penny Candle began during the second world war, Firefly Summer took place during the 1960s.
