In 2014, O'Neill's debut novel, Only Ever Yours was published for a YA audience and went on to win Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year at 2014, the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Award; the Children's Books Ireland Eilís Dillon Award for a First Children's Book, and The Bookseller's inaugural YA Book Prize 2015. Since blasting onto the writing scene in 2014 O'Neill has written 4 more books, for children and adults alike. After the Silence is her fifth book and is as bold, brave and shocking as her other novels. The book is set in Inisrun, Ireland and has a chilling tag line: Nessa Crowley's murderer has been protected by silence for ten years. Until a team of documentary makers decide to find out the truth. Do you even need more information to read the book? Just in case you do, here's more... on the night of Nessa Crowley's murder there was a big storm, cutting the island off from the mainland, so nobody was able to leave. The mystery behind the murderer was hidden, but those on the island who was to blame. This book delves into the deadly nature of secrets and how they can devastate those who keep them. We loved this book and felt every emotion reading it. Join us for this podcast episode when we delve into the themes and mystery in detail. @bloomingratbooks.

Cork author Louise O'Neill joined Roisin Ingle on the podcast to talk about her latest novel After The Silence. The book marks a departure for O'Neill in that it's a thriller but what hasn't changed is the uncompromising, gently probing voice of the writer of novels such as Asking For It which on publication became a national talking point. In After The Silence, set on a small Island off the coast of Cork, she explores themes such as emotional abuse and the kind of notoriety that follows a small community devastated by a traumatic event - in this case the unexplained murder of a beautiful young Islander. O'Neill talks about writing, about life in Lockdown and about the new and very different experience of writing a thriller.

Jordan Peterson, clinical psychologist and YouTube sensation, professes to bring order to chaos in his 12 Rules for Life. He tells Tom Sutcliffe about the importance of individual responsibility, using lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories. But his home truths are not without controversy: acclaimed by many, his critics accuse him of reinforcing traditional gender and family roles and attacking liberal values. Hashi Mohamed is the living embodiment of many of Peterson's life rules: he came to Britain when he was 9 years old with little English and through a combination of skill, luck and hard work is now a barrister. But he is critical of the lack of social mobility and his own rags to riches story is one he thinks is increasingly difficult to realise. The Irish author Louise O'Neill has made her name challenging the roles given to women. In her books for young adults she has tackled small town hypocrisy and sexism, rape culture and victim-blaming. She too has looked to the stories of the past and her latest book is a radical retelling of Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lawrence Wright turns his focus on his home state Texas, to see what it can teach us about America. A 'superstate' with a GDP larger than most industrialised countries, and with a population on track to double by 2050, Texas both confirms and challenges its stereotype. Wright is confronted by cowboy individualism, gun-loving patriotism and nostalgia for an ersatz past, but also finds pockets of liberal progressiveness and entrepreneurial drive.

I got to interview Louise O'Neill at Waterstones Piccadilly in May (2018) about the book as part of a live podcast recording.

Louise O'Neill is one of the most inspiring generous people who I've befriended on Twitter. She is an Irish author and columnist, with a strong focus on feminism in her writing. Her first book, Only Ever Yours was published in 2014 and earned the title "Newcomer of the Year" of the Irish Book Awards and was the winner of the inaugural YA Book Prize in 2015. Her second book, Asking For It, was named Irish Times Book of the Month in September 2015. Rights of both books have been sold - film and TV rights for Only Ever Yours and TV rights for Asking For It. HOW VERY EXCITING. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
