Right whissht and listen I didn& #39;t plan on including this today but I just finished it so you get a bonus #ReadIrishWomenChallenge2021 post

Let& #39;s talk about

I Want to Know That I Will Be Okay by @propermiss ( @bansheelit)

Her debut adult fiction book, this is a collection of short stories, from the supernatural, to the tragic, to the witty, and thought-provoking.

This is an incredible book. No surprise, the writing is exquisite. But I can honestly say that every single story grips you and won& #39;t let you go until it& #39;s ready. This is hard enough to get right with one short story, imagine 14 of them in a row (All That You Possess is my fav)

To borrow words from @DoireannNiG: this is a female text. I want to know all the women each story centres around. I am all of these women at once. It feels like Deirdre has been watching all of us with a sense of clarity that informs and transforms the way we perceive ourselves.

Out May 13th - I know plenty of readers who I will be getting copies for. It& #39;s incredible, go read it when it is out.
