A powerful and poetic novel from the multi-award-winning author of Tangleweed and Brine Ces longs to be a tattoo artist and embroider skin with beautiful images.
But for now she's just trying to reach adulthood without falling apart. Powerful, poetic and disturbing, Needlework is a girl's meditation on her efforts to maintain her bodily and spiritual integrity in the face of abuse, violation and neglect.
"Reading Needlework is similar to getting your first tattoo - it's searing, often painful, but it is an experience you'll never forget."
Louise O'Neill, author of The Surface Breaks and Asking For It
"Needlework is a powerful novel that deserves to be read."
Sarah Crossan, author of One and We Come Apart
"I loved Deirdre Sullivan's Needlework, a novel that is just as sharp and precise as its title suggests."
Doireann Ni Ghriofa, poet
"A modern, broken fairy tale that gets under your skin."
Tara Flynn, author and comedian
