Elaine Feeney: Writing What You Know

Booker Prize-longlisted Elaine Feeney is steeped in poetry and storytelling, and echoes of her west of Ireland origins resonate throughout her work. This remains true of her latest novel, Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way, a clear-eyed and deep-hearted family tale centred around a woman whose past returns to disrupt her present. Today hear an author whose characters create shadow histories that stand as a corrective to received narratives
