Lucinda Sly - A Woman Hanged by Maidhc Dainín Ó Sé, Trans. Gabriel Fitzmaurice, photo of book cover
The year is 1835 and local woman Lucinda Singleton is publicly hanged alongside her lover, John Dempsey, in front of Carlow Gaol. This, the first ever translation of Maidhc Dainín Ó Sé’s historical novel, tells the story of the last woman to be hanged in Carlow. Powerfully capturing the energy, wit and pathos of a changed Dublin society, Beatsploitation gives voice to a cynical, disillusioned generation, caught between the tired values of the old and the uncertainty of the new. An assured, arresting debut by a commanding new talent.
An arresting debut novel from one of Northern Ireland's most exciting new voices.
