dlr Soundcloud

dlr Libraries were pleased to partner with Dublin Book Festival and host three events showcasing some of the best writing Ireland has to offer. Join Sinéad Gleeson in conversation with arts journalist Paula Shields. From acclaimed author Sinéad Gleeson comes Hagstone (4th Estate) a haunting and atmospheric fiction debut. Exploring themes of art, landscape, folklore and the feminine, Hagstone takes in the darker side of human nature, and the mysteries of faith and the natural world. Artist Nell lives on a wild and rugged island, between the reclusive commune of Inions up on the cliff and the strange murmurings that seem to emanate from within the depths of the island. When the Inions invite Nell into the commune, Nell will discover things about the community and about herself that will challenge everything she thought she knew.
