Photo: GettyNovelist Roisin Meaney qualified as a teacher and first worked in Dublin and in Zimbabwe. Then after a stint as an advertising copywriter in London, she tried her hand at writing a book. In 2022, she was shortlisted for the Library Association’s ‘author of the year’ category at the An Post Irish Book Awards. The Kerry-born writer is currently working on her 22nd novel, Moving On, which is due for publication in February.
