Rick O'Shea Reviews Constellations by Sinéad Gleeson

A unique and incredible collection of non-fiction essays from the writer and journalist Sinead Gleeson. Covering everything from her experiences with ill health, through to motherhood and reproductive rights, she details what it’s like to encounter and live through all of these things as a woman growing up in Ireland over the last two decades.

Whilst this has echoes of Emilie Pine’s ‘Notes to Self’ in that it’s beautifully written, powerful and blisteringly honest, ‘Constellations’ also delves into so much more.

All in all, it’s a thing of honesty, clarity and beauty- and, if you’re anything like me, parts of it are guaranteed to move you to tears. WANT TO SEE MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS?
