Irish Bookshops Supply Sally Rooney Novels Amid UK Supply Halt

The Hindu - International · world

Irish bookshops are now supplying Sally Rooney's novels to readers in the United Kingdom after her publisher, Faber, halted U.K. distribution. This decision stems from the author's plan to donate her U.K. earnings to Palestine Action, a group banned in Britain. While Faber can no longer distribute Rooney's books in the U.K. through normal channels, booksellers like Jenni Doherty in Londonderry can still access stock via Irish suppliers. This has led to new customers seeking out her bestselling titles, despite the publisher's inability to transfer earnings to the author.
