A book about a famous lament for the 18th century mid Cork hero Art Ó Laoghaire has scooped the An Post Irish Book of the Year award for its Cork-based author.
Poet Doireann Ní Ghríofa s A Ghost In The Throat is an investigation by the writer of Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill, who wrote Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire/Lament for Art O Leary, and it also gives a personal insight into Doireann s own circumstances and experiences as she follows in the footsteps of Eibhlín Dubh.
The book takes us on a tour of many sites around Macroom and the general mid Cork area.
