A Ghost In The Throat

In the 1700s an Irish noblewoman drinks handfuls of her murdered husband’s blood and then composes an extraordinary poem that will be revered across the centuries. Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill’s Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire, was 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 finds the poem and sets out to track down the rest of the story as she becomes obsessed with its parallels to her own life. A Ghost in the Throat is a powerful story of how a woman frees her own voice by reaching into the past and finding another’s.
