Constellations by Sinéad Gleeson

4.0

Constellations by Sinead Gleeson will be adored by fans of Maggie O'Farrell's I Am, I Am, I Am and Michelle Elman's Am I Ugly? when it is published in April. In this fantastic, powerful book of personal essays, Gleeson looks at the struggles and pain her body has been through during childhood, childbirth, growing up and cancer. Through pain both physical and emotional, there are scars full of stories. The writing is razor sharp as she delves into the limitations of our bodies as she explores the abortion debate in Ireland, tackles death of an ex-boyfriend, survives having a rare type of leukemia.
