Happy new Between Two Books recommendation day to all who celebrate❤️🔥
Our next pick is ‘Hagstone’ by @sineadgleeson: a gripping, haunting tale set on an isolated island off the coast of Ireland. It centres on a mysterious commune of women known as the Iníons who ‘live outside parameters the world was desperate to impose on them’.
‘Hagstone’ uses elements of folk horror and Irish mythology to explore the reality of life as an artist, and the tension between isolation and community.
Nell, a visual artist, is invited by the Iníons to create a piece of art celebrating their history, to be ready for a special ceremony on Samhain (November 1st).

So in a gentle return, we’re reading Susanna Clarke’s dreamlike second novel, Piranesi, a book that brought me back to reading before. ♥️ x @susannaclarke_
We’re back! Touring tends to rob me of my ability to read, the adrenaline and exhaustion makes it harder to concentrate, and along with recovering from literally almost dancing myself to death I found myself in a bit of a reading slump.
thank you so much! The art is by Fee Greening feegreening.co.uk/

It’s been a while that I’ve been able to read a @BetweenTwoBooks recommendation at the same time as everybody else 💃🏽 exited for this
We’ll be sharing discussion points about the book and a reading by Patricia soon - watch this space!
Priestdaddy is a riotously funny memoir about her unforgettable family, with an eccentric yet extremely conservative Catholic priest of a father at its head (often seen playing the guitar in his underwear when not preaching sermons).
BTB is thrilled to announce our spring book club pick is ‘Priestdaddy’ by the poet and Booker Prize-shortlisted novelist Patricia Lockwood.
