A Ghost in the Throat

Winner of multiple awards, Doireann Ní Ghríofa’s debut literary work intertwines two compelling narratives: an 18th-century Irish noblewoman’s tragic act of grief and a modern-day mother's emotional journey upon discovering her poem. Blending essay and autofiction, the book explores how one life can profoundly influence another, delving into themes of voice, memory, and storytelling. Praised for its originality and genre-defying nature, it offers a haunting and innovative reading experience.
