'[A] generous, glowing book. ni Dochartaigh is on intimate terms with the natural world . [and] Cacophony of Bone is distinctly innovative in form. This attention to form is a considerable narrative achievement. It [. ] persuades the reader to look, assess and imagine afresh' - Irish Times 'Raw, visionary, lucid and mystical, Cacophony of Bone speaks of the connection between all things, and the magic that can be found in everyday life' - KATHERINE MAY 'The delight of ni Dochartaigh's writing is her capacity to measure compassion against observation. Her wisdom is like water - too strong, and too elusive, to be hooked . This is the book's power - that it fills the needs of the person who stands before it .

It is a book that creeps into the reader' - Caught by the River 'This is a brilliant second book from a unique and deeply gifted writer who constantly renews our sense of the natural world and the landscape of the heart' - KEVIN BARRY 'What joy, to find oneself once more in the world of Kerri Ni Dochartaigh, following her through the astonishments of her days, where each moment is deeply felt and each page is written with such nimble meticulousness. Cacophony of Bone is neat as a robin's nest, and just as wondrous' - DOIREANN Ni GHRiOFA '' -.
