With Bernie McGill

Twelve Thousand Days is the poignant memoir of a marriage of 30 years between renowned writer Éilís Ní Dhuibhne and folklorist Bo Almquist.

In the aftermath of Bo’s death, Éilís wrote about love and grief, capturing the beauty of a relationship that spanned decades whilst also illuminating the complexities and compromises of being in love.

This love story between Éilís and Bo is interlaced with observations on Irish life, culture and morality.

Join Éilís in conversation with Bernie McGill as they discuss writing, memoir and life after loss.
