Event Details

The Roma Words, Roma Worlds book group will discuss Twiggy Woman by Oein DeBhairduin. The Roma Words, Roma Worlds book group discusses the work of authors of Romani descent.

From award-winning author Oein DeBhairduin, Twiggy Woman is a collection of ghost stories rooted in the oral tradition of the Irish Traveller community. Like a flickering lamp, these eerie tales illuminate the threads between our mundane outer lives and the mysterious, wild and spooky visions of our inner worlds. With his lyrical prose and rich perspective, Oein guides us into the darker corners of the mind, always with the comfort of knowing that we won’t be left there. Featuring chilling black and white illustrations by celebrated artist Helena Grimes.

Join us in person in the Conti Room or via zoom. Copies available at the front desk by request starting one month before the meeting.
