Reviews
Outstanding . . . wide-ranging, intimate and expressive . . . it's clear that Gleeson's insight is hard-won, and that, like the women who inspire her, she has found a way to transmute her experience into something powerful that demands to be heard.Observer
Utterly magnificent. Raw, thought-provoking and galvanising; this is a book every woman should read.Eimear McBride, author of A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing
Sinéad Gleeson has written one of those rare things, a wise and compassionate book full of truth and humility. There are universal themes here; love, the strength of women, survival against the odds. Beautiful prose, poetry and history woven together to make this a must-read and a masterpiece.Kit De Waal, author of My Name Is Leon
Constellations is glitteringly brilliant . . . Political, poetic, tender and angry, a remarkable book and an astonishing debut.Robert Macfarlane, author of The Lost Words
