''In The Celestial Realm Molly Hennigan excavates family and social history in electrically eloquent prose, finding profound insight and flashes of grounding humour in even the most potentially overwhelming, dark material. A defiant, deeply powerful book' -- Colin Barrett * author of Young Skins and Homesickness * 'Molly Hennigan brings original and raw perspective to subjects that have fascinated and bewildered readers for centuries - family, legacy and love' -- Sara Baume * author of Seven Steeples * 'It is written with wisdom and fearlessness, it is lyrical and compassionate, and reminds me of Annie Ernaux in its clarity and intelligence. It is a sincerely important work for Ireland right now' -- Niamh Campbell * author of This Happy and We Were Young * 'A tender, clear-eyed sketch of the connective tissue that binds women across generations' -- Doireann Ní Ghríofa * author of A Ghost in the Throat *
