A Ghost In The Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa

reflective

A truly beautiful work that challenges expectations of what a memoir could be. Its genre-fluidity and extremely personal content is a sort of double-edged sword, as it results in something that is simultaneously authentic and obscure. No one will truly relate to her exact circumstances, but there is value in getting a glimpse into the psyche of a person desperately trying to find their place in the world as a woman and a mother.
