Tied to the Wind
Tied to the Wind is a memoir that portrays a young girl’s attempts to tether herself to a life that keeps becoming unfixed, each time her family moves from Ireland to Southern Africa and back again. Her nomadic childhood triggers a sense of destabilisation, exacerbated by alcoholism, racism, war, and the conflicts of complicit colonial privilege. Interwoven into the prose poetry narrative are the puzzle pieces of a fateful decision to undertake a skydive, despite her fear of heights. These are the pieces with which to assemble a sense of self.
A book of intense sensations, and kaleidoscopic atmosphere – Sara Baume, Seven Steeples
Simultaneously intimate and epic – Grace Wells, The Church of the Love of the World
A mighty piece of work: powerful, insightful and fascinating – Cónal Creedon, Art Imitating Life Imitating Death
Exquisite – a beautifully-written, lyrical charm – Paul McMahon, The Pups in the Bog
An exquisitely rendered narrative of a young, hurting, growing life – Mia Gallagher, Beautiful Pictures of the Lost Homeland
Searingly beautiful prose – William Wall, Empty Bed Blues
A courageous and moving piece of work – Paul Perry, The Garden
Tied to the Wind will change the lives of those who read it – Fióna Bolger, A Compound of Words
What incredible writing, every entry a new experience, a fresh emotion – Daniel Lusk, Every Slow Thing
Enthralling – Bernadette McCarthy, Bog Arabic
