“This is a female text.”

I cried with Ní Ghríofa and I rejoiced with her as she followed the life of Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill. Adding in the Caoineadh at the end felt like such a triumph. The slow and circular writing always comes together and unlike many many other slowly paced books Ní Ghríofa pulls it off. She makes Ní Chonaill come to life again and seamlessly melds her modern life with her beloved poet.

Past becomes present again. Absolutely my favorite genre of modern literature.

Strong content warning for pregnancy/ near miscarriage. It would be difficult to read this book without reading those sections

emotional hopeful sad

3.0

I literally went back and forth in what to rate this sm. It's beautifully written and some bits are easily 4/5 stars but other parts are so difficult to get through and are 1/2 stars. I feel like it was a bit directionless and could deffo have been much shorter but the themes and idea is really interesting
