Praise for The Three Lives of St Ciarán [icon name=”quote-left” prefix=”fas”] Weaving together history, myth, and dark visions of the future, Labarta creates a strange and beguiling exploration of Spanish and Irish identities. This is a beautifully written, subversive, and endlessly inventive novel.—Naomi Krüger, author of May [icon name=”quote-left” prefix=”fas”] The Three Lives of St Ciarán manages to be a transgressive, page-turning read – & at the same time, a deep meditation on gender, daughterhood, the climate crisis & the deep psycho-mythological connections between Ireland & Spain. Bearing meaning through time like Cloud Atlas, as disruptive of gender as The Passion of New Eve, the ground tilled by St Ciaran’s multiple narrators is the urgent cultural interface of religion & the body.—Eoghan Walls, author of The Gospel of Orla [icon name=”quote-left” prefix=”fas”] Exciting and Provocative.—Toby Litt, author of A Writer’s Diary [icon name=”quote-left” prefix=”fas”] Intricate, compelling and clever – I loved this book.—Jenn Ashworth, author of Ghosted: A Love Story
