Beautifully written and eerily haunting, Sinéad Gleeson’s fiction debut, Hagstone, takes in the darker side of human nature and the mysteries of the natural world. On a wild and rugged island, artist Nell lives alongside a mysterious commune of women known as the Inions who have travelled there from all over the world. The island is a place of refuge and safety where these women find solace in nature, and where Nell will create artwork that challenges everything she thought she knew.
