They Shut Me Up (hardcover) Tracy Fahey [DINK]

“Life is tough. And then there's The Change...
A woman, ignored and invisible, starts to discover her voice. But who—or what—is speaking though her?
Part body-horror, part feminist fiction, They Shut Me Up poses the question: how can we retell historic female narratives?

"In reclaiming the tale of an Irish “witch,” Tracy Fahey writes about stories—the ones we tell ourselves and the ones others tell about us. Steeped in Irish history and myth and suffused with women's rage, They Shut Me Up is a luminous recounting of how unearthing the past can liberate us in the present." Lynda E. Rucker (The Moon Will Look Strange, Now It’s Dark)    —Lynda E. Rucker (The Moon Will Look Strange, Now It’s Dark)

"This is a glorious feminist revisionism of how powerful older women are seen in folklore. Tracy Fahey gives voice to the silenced and it's a battle cry." —Priya Sharma, author of Ormeshadow and Pomegranates.
