  • Sara welcomes debut novelist Roisin O'Donnell to the Radio 2 Book Club to talk about 'Nesting'
    2025/02/05

    Our latest Radio 2 Book Club choice is 'Nesting' by Roisin O'Donnell.

    It is a beautiful but tense novel about hope and resilience, which contains themes of coercive control.

    Roisin has been wanting to write ever since she was really young, but only started taking her writing 'seriously' a few years ago. She worked on writing short stories to hone her craft, before sitting down to write her novel in the evenings and on weekends, outside of a day job and being a single mum to two girls.

    Sara chats to Roisin about her publishing journey, the NINE WAY AUCTION for her book and the influence that fellow Irish writer Claire Keegan had on her.

    They also discuss how important it was to make the book as authentic as it could be, with such serious and important themes.
