Constellations: Reflections From Life

'If you want to know where passion and tenacity are born, read this book.' Anne Enright

How do you tell the story of a life in a body, as it goes through sickness, love, health, motherhood? How do you tell that story when you are not just a woman but a woman in Ireland? In this powerful and daring book Sinéad Gleeson does that very thing.

In the tradition of some of our finest life writers, and yet still in her own spirited, generous voice, Sinéad takes us on a journey that is both uniquely personal and yet universal in its resonance. Here is the fierce joy and pain of being alive.

'Breathtaking and sublime' Nina Stibbe

'Glitteringly brilliant . . . Political, poetic, tender and angry, a remarkable book' Robert Macfarlane

'A must-read and a masterpiece' Kit DeWaal
