Mixing archive and memory, Doireann Ní Ghríofa’s Said the Dead draws readers into a haunting illumination of Cork’s forgotten women. In Daisy Johnson’s hypnotic Long Wave, a foundling discovered on an island contends with new motherhood while, years earlier, a pregnant woman, locked away by her own mother, dreams of escape. These visionary writers join us to discuss memory, whispers from the past, and the stories that survive us. Chaired by Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin.
