We are delighted to learn of Donal Ryan's wonderful success in winning the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction, 2025, for his novel "Heart, Be at Peace". Fans of Donal's work will recognise the setting from his debut novel, "The Spinning Heart", but this takes place 10 years later as this small community "... faces contemporary challenges including social media, drugs, and illegal industries." Donal is slated to join us in the Abbey Arts Centre, Ballyshannon on Saturday, November 8th, for a session of Q & A and readings from his extensive works. We look forward to welcoming you there.
