A true original. In this stunningly unusual prose debut, Doireann Ní Ghríofa sculpts essay & autofiction to explore inner life & the deep connection felt between two writers centuries apart.
In the 1700s, an Irish noblewoman, on discovering her husband has been murdered, drinks handfuls of his blood & composes an extraordinary poem. Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill's Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire, famously referred to by Peter Levi, Professor of Poetry at Oxford University, as 'the greatest poem written in either Ireland or Britain during the eighteenth century.'
In the present day, a young mother narrowly avoids tragedy. On encountering the poem, she becomes obsessed with its parallels with her own life, & sets out to track down the rest of the story.
A Ghost in the Throat is a devastating & timeless tale about one woman freeing her voice by reaching into the past & finding another's.
