About

Mixing archive and memory, Doireann Ní Ghríofa’s Said the Dead draws readers into a haunting illumination of Cork’s forgotten women.

Mixing archive and memory, Doireann Ní Ghríofa’s Said the Dead draws readers into a haunting illumination of Cork’s forgotten women.

In Daisy Johnson’s hypnotic Long Wave, a foundling discovered on an island contends with new motherhood while, years earlier, a pregnant woman, locked away by her own mother, dreams of escape.

These visionary writers join us to discuss memory, whispers from the past, and the stories that survive us.
