Praise for Walking Ghosts
'Each story shines in its own distinctive light.' —Neil Hegarty
'O'Donnell is unflinching in her ability to display humanity in all its flaws and vulnerabilities.' —Mary Costello
'The magic of her writing is in the subtle, mysterious evocation of the unconscious, of the potent mixture of mood and thought and half thought which colours human lives.' —Eilis Ni Dhuibhne
'Searingly intimate and subtle stories, the beauty, the pain and the hope of desperate lives lived in everyday places. A fascinating, varied and utterly compelling collection.' —William Wall
This episode is supported by a Project Award from the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
