Dublin-born author Kim Curran presents a vibrant retelling of the Irish goddess of war, The Morrigan, exploring themes of female rage, power, and sisterhood through a thousand-year journey. The novel delves into the Morrigan's struggles, her search for belonging, and ultimately her embrace of her raw fury. Curran draws inspiration from Irish mythology, personal experiences, and the societal climate to craft a compelling and cathartic narrative.
Author Kim Curran discusses her beloved literary titles, process, and writing about female rage, power and sisterhood through the lens of Irish mythology.
From an ancient, storm-tossed sea, a tribe of gods reach the rocky shores of Ireland. Among them, a strange, hungry, red-haired girl. A girl who can change shape, from bird to beast to goddess. A girl who dreams of battle, of blood, of death and power. Then, somehow, after university, I found myself working as a copywriter in an advertising agency: a job I still do now, 25 years on. But the desire to tell stories of my own never left me. In my 30s, I dared to attempt to write and share a book. As with the vast majority of first books, it went nowhere. But it did teach me the discipline of finishing what I had started and set a fire in my belly. I tried again, writing a book for young adults.
