AWW23: "From the Pulse of My Heart" - Louise Kennedy

Chair: Nicci Gerrard

Growing up Catholic on the outskirts of 1970s Belfast, Louise Kennedy’s earliest memories are marked by violence: flying glass lacerating her grandmother when a bomb went off during the Troubles. Her novel, Trespasses, is a love story set against a backdrop of escalating violence. It won the award for Novel of the Year at the 2022 An Post Irish Book Awards and has been hailed as a brilliant and devastating debut.
