Sinéad Gleeson & Douglas Stuart: Hagstone

In her first novel Hagstone (Fourth Estate), Sinéad Gleeson – who has, in the words of Anne Enright, ‘changed the Irish literary landscape through her advocacy for the female voice’ – explores the darker side of human nature and the mysteries of faith and the natural world in the setting of a remote island housing a commune of women seeking refuge from the modern world. She was joined in discussion by Booker Prize winner Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo.
