A Ghost in the Throat
Doireann Ní Ghríofa
This stunning debut weaves together essay and autofiction exploring the deep connection between two writers centuries apart. After stumbling upon an extraordinary poem composed by an Irish noblewoman in the 1700s, a young mother becomes obsessed with its parallels to her own life and sets out to uncover the rest of the story. A timeless tale of one woman freeing her voice by reaching into the past and finding another's.
