96 reviews“Raw, visionary, lucid & mystical, Cacophony of Bone speaks of the connection between all things, & the magic that can be found in everyday life” — KATHERINE MAY
“The delight of ní Dochartaigh’s writing is her capacity to measure compassion against observation. Her wisdom is like water — too strong, & too elusive, to be hooked … This is the book’s power — that it fills the needs of the person who stands before it … It is a book that creeps into the reader” — Caught By The River
°°°Two days after the Winter Solstice in 2019 Kerri & her partner M moved to a small, remote railway cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to stay put. What followed was a year of many changes.
The pandemic arrived & their isolated home became a place of enforced isolation. It was to be a year unlike any we had seen before. But the seasons still turned, the swallows came at their allotted time, the rhythms of the natural world went on unchecked. For Kerri there was to be one more change, a longed-for but un-hoped for change.
Cacophony of Bone maps the circle of a year - a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life - from one winter, to the next. It is a telling of a changed life, in a changed world - & it is about all that does not change. All that which simply keeps on - living & breathing, nesting & dying - in spite of it all. When the pandemic came time seemed to shapeshift, so this is also a book about time. It is, too, a book about home, & what that can mean. Fragmentary in subject & form, fluid of language, this is an ode to a year, a place, & a love, that changed a life.
