Sinéad Gleeson in conversation with Paula Shields - In Partnership with Dublin Book Festival

Dublin Book Festival is one of Ireland’s most successful and dynamic book festivals, running since June 2006 in the heart of Ireland’s capital with its rich literary history. ​dlr Libraries are pleased to partner and host three events showcasing some of the best writing Ireland has to offer.

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.

From acclaimed author Sinéad Gleeson comes this haunting and atmospheric fiction debut. Exploring themes of art, landscape, folklore and the feminine, Hagstone (4th Estate) takes in the darker side of human nature, and the mysteries of faith and the natural world.

Join Sinéad in conversation with arts journalist Paula Shields in the Studio, dlr LexIcon, Dún Laoghaire.

Tickets are free and can be booked through Dublin Book Festival
