Anita Fennelly tells her story of transformation and healing while staying alone on the Great Blasket Island for a summer in 2000. Staying in a small stone dwelling, and writing by candlelight, she pens her memoir, a tapestry of island stories along with her encounters with the characters of the island.

These include the ferrymen and fishermen, backpackers, a weaver, a former Taoiseach, a dolphin, seals.

Blasket Spirit reveals a timeless place where the souls of the past and present are inextricably linked.
