Tks to @kennysbookshop.bsky.social I'm going to spend the working day in a fog of anticipation. Lunchtime will be more about reading than eating... #SaidtheDead

Hot off the presses, Doireann Ní Ghríofa's 'Said the Dead' sits on a kitchen table, next to the morning cup of tea. It's a handsome hardback, in warm navy, adorned with silver botanical illustrations. Title is in gold lettering. An enigmatic-looking young woman stares from a wrap-around on the bottom half of the volume.
