"I think fiction especially has the power to tell an emotional truth, and those are the books I want to read."

Not going to lie. I screamed out loud when I saw this video. Obviously I've known for some time that I've been long listed but seeing such a beautifully produced little video summing up my debut novel made me well up.

Book 29 of 2025: I do love a weekend away where I can read a book in 2 sittings. Longlisted for the #womensprizeforfiction Nesting is the story of one woman's fight to survive and thrive with her children in a flawed system. A stark description of housing in Dublin but ultimately a book of hope. 💙📚

Good Girl by Aria Aber
Huge congratulations to Aria Aber for GOOD GIRL being longlisted for the 2025 Women’s Prize for Fiction 💚

On my way home today, I popped into the local English bookstore to see if they had any titles from the Women's Prize longlist.
Only one on the front table, but they assured me they were going to try and get hold of more.
