'Raw, visionary, lucid and mystical, Cacophony of Bone speaks of
the connection between all things, and the magic that can be found
in everyday life' - KATHERINE MAY
'I am a little in awe of Kerri ni Dochartaigh's work - the clarity
and disinhibition of her storytelling; the wild freedom of her
prose. Here is a brave and bold book, and one that deserves to be
read, then read again' - HELEN JUKES
'Kerri ni Dochartaigh is one of those rare writers - like
Dickinson, like Blake - whose way of seeing and being burns fierce
and bright. Out from a year of intense isolation comes this
hope-giving story about a soul taking flight and new life taking
root' - TANYA SHADRICK
'Kerri ni Dochartaigh's words have a rare power to chime with her
readers' souls. Raw, honest, and beautiful, I know I'll return to
Cacophony of Bone monthly, seasonally and yearly to be moved and
healed by this stunningly intimate book' - MOLLY AITKEN
'Kerri ni Dochartaigh is something of a modern-day mystic, a writer
of acute sensitivity and wonder. There is such beauty, such pain,
such rawness in this diary of an extraordinary year - you read it
feeling quickened, awakened - that you, too, are missing a layer of
skin. It's a very special book indeed' - LUCY CALDWELL
