Status Updates From Ett spöke i strupen

Once again, I have to realise I am not that much into narratives about motherhood. Still, Ní Ghríofa challenges the singular motherhood narrative, not only by spectacularly interweaving her life story with Eibhlín Dubh‘s to highlight the erasure of female voices and stories from Irish history. The writing is truly extraordinary, poetic and contemporary at the same time. Definitely a special read.

It’s such an intense and poetic book about motherhood, womanhood, patriarchy and feminism, women in history and literature. Oh gosh, it so so good!

Loving it!
