Stepsisters de Tara MacLeod

Stepsisters

Editat de Tara MacLeod, Brian Ó Conchubhair
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2026
A fierce new chorus of voices emerges from contemporary Ireland. Eight writers. Sixteen unforgettable stories. Translated from Irish for the first time. Stories from Belfast to Kerry, from the immigrant experience to the weight of tradition, these voices refuse easy comfort. They explore the raw territories of motherhood and loss, desire and betrayal and the clash between old certainties and new realities. A tattooist claims his lover's skin. A widow faces an impossible choice about her disabled son. Birds of prey stalk through dreams of environmental catastrophe. Here is family in all its beautiful, terrible complexity -- the bonds that sustain us, the ones that suffocate, the love that heals and the secrets that destroy. Bold, unflinching, and impossible to ignore Stepsisters showcases the depth and power of contemporary Irish women's writing. Featuring stories from É ithne Ní Ghallchobhair, Deirdre Brennan, Ró ise Ní Bhaoill, Biddy Jenkinson, Katherine Duffyand RÉ altá n Ní Leanná in.
