A Ghost In The Throat
A true original, this stunning prose debut by Doireann Ní Ghríofa weaves two stories together. In the 1700s, an Irish noblewoman, on discovering her husband has been murdered, drinks handfuls of his blood and composes an extraordinary poem that reaches across the centuries to another poet. In the present day, a young mother narrowly avoids tragedy in her own life. On encountering the poem, she becomes obsessed with finding out the rest of the story.

Fugitive
A Lebanese student has had enough of a lecturer’s inappropriate advances; a frustrated author takes her revenge on a publisher; a petty dispute over a land boundary escalates wildly; a woman has had enough of her property flooding; a bankrupt developer takes his children to an uninhabited lake isle. In these dark, witty stories, award-winning author David Butler follows the lives of characters who are driven to the edge, and shines a light on the many sides of what it means to be Irish in the twenty-first century.
