A Ghost in the Throat By Doireann Ní Ghríofa free PDF download. A Ghost in the Throat is an intriguing fusion of essay and autofiction. It chronicles the author’s internal journey and her profound bond with Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill, an 18th-century Irish noblewoman. Following her husband’s assassination, Eibhlín Dubh consumes his blood and pens a remarkable poem.

The author, in the present day, becomes captivated by this poem and its similarities to her own life.

It narrates a compelling tale of discovering one’s voice by liberating another’s.
