Description
Sinéad Gleeson's debut novel, Hagstone, is a haunting and atmospheric tale of a mysterious island and its inhabitants. The sea is steady for now, but the land is readied itself, and the women on the cliff are waiting to be discovered. Artist Nell finds inspiration in the island's landscape, folklore, and the feminine, but when a letter from the reclusive Iníons commune arrives, she is invited to create a magnificent art piece to celebrate their history. As Nell delves into the commune's world, she will uncover secrets about the community and herself that will challenge everything she thought she knew. Beautifully written and gripping, Hagstone explores the darker side of human nature and the mysteries of faith and the natural world, making it a compelling read for those who enjoy Margaret Atwood and Sarah Moss.
