Why does Claudette move to Donegal in the novel, This Must Be the Place?

Claudette first moves to Donegal because it is sparsely populated, and because it features a valley near the coast that is even more isolated, sparsely populated, and rural, ensuring her own anonymity and a quiet life she can live as she sees fit. She wants to live freely without being in the public eye, and Donegal is the perfect place for her to do so.
