Said the Dead by Doireann Ní Ghríofa | She read and read, because she had woken these voices, and to stop reading would silence them | 21st May 26
Said the Dead by Doireann Ní Ghríofa | She read and read, because she had woken these voices, and to stop reading would silence them | 21st May 26

Coming next week, from the author of Foyles Non-Fiction Book of the Year A Ghost in the Throat, a complete wonder of a book.

A haunting (haunted?), gorgeous, uncategorisable masterwork, Said the Dead blends memoir, history and ghost story, drawing on archives and old casebooks to reimagine the past lives that unfolded within the walls of a derelict 19th-century insane asylum in Cork.
