Sinéad Gleeson, beloved, Irish no. 1 bestselling author joins us in conversation with Wendy Erskine about her haunting debut novel.

Haunting and insidiously eerie, Gleeson’s mesmerising debut ‘Hagstone’ finds an artist resident on a secluded island receiving a commission from a mysterious commune called the Inions.  The sea is steady for now. The land readies itself. What can be done with the woman on the cliff?

On a wild and rugged island cut off and isolated to some, artist Nell feels the island is her home. It is the source of inspiration for her art, rooted in landscape, folklore and the feminine. The mysterious Inions, a commune of women who have travelled there from all over the world, consider it a place of refuge and safety, of solace in nature.

Sinéad Gleeson is a literary sensation. Sinéad has been celebrated at home and internationally for her award-winning memoir Constellations: Reflections From Life and This Woman’s Work, a collection of essays on music, co-edited with Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth.

‘Intelligent, probing’  MAGGIE O’FARRELL
