The Morrigan's strength, frailty, rage and resilience is that of every woman who has ever lived. Curran summons her boldly from the old tales, giving her a voice that is more vital and relevant than ever. The Morrigan may be the most powerful book you will read this year

Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong and Song of the Huntress

Like Madeline Miller, Curran has taken centuries of Irish legend and harnessed a powerful retelling for modern readers. A timely feminist battle cry with pitch perfect writing

Juno Dawson, author of Her Majesty's Royal Coven

A fearless and ferocious retelling that does great justice to the original stories, effortlessly navigating an epic scale with heartbreaking intimacy. Kim Curran is an astonishing talent

Kate Heartfield, author of The Valkyrie and The Embroidered Book

Transported back to ancient Ireland, The Morrigan took me on a breathtaking journey brimming with fury and longing. In her own words, The Morrigan weaves a tale rich with magic, and visceral with female rage, as resonant now as in the age of Gods and Goddesses, and the warring tribes of Ireland. Captivated from start to finish, I dreamed of The Morrigan and her lust for vengeance long after I read the last page. Stunning!

Anya Bergman, author of The Witches of Vardø

Kim Curran's The Morrigan will do for Irish mythology what Madeline Miller did for Greek. I fell in love with her lyrical prose and the way she brought the complex layers of the Morrigan myth to life in all her fierce fury and glory. An absolute triumph

Amy McCulloch

Breathtaking in scope, blistering in truth, The Morrigan is a beautifully dark tale of rage, power and love. Razor-sharp, profound and intensely moving, this is more than a retelling. Kim Curran’s writing is lyrical, brutal and sublime - a stunning story of sisterhood as relevant today as it has ever been. I adored it!
