An Irishman Abroad

This week the Selection Box stops in Greystones to meet Trish Hennessy, the dynamo behind one of the most unusual independent book shops in Ireland. Her story of how selling a few books as a hobby turned into a successful award winning business is an inspiration. Jarlath asks Trish about the remarkably novel ways in which she survived the pandemic. Her book subscription service has allowed relatives in other countries to use literature to keep in contact with the children they desperately want to see. We also get a few great book recommendations from perhaps the most qualified young people’s book expert in the country.  For more information on (or to purchase) the books recommended by Trish in this episode, please click the links below: The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy While We Can't Hug by Eoin McLaughlin and Polly Dunbar Outside, Inside by LeUyen Pham To hear every episode in full and to gain access to the entire back-catalogue of over 500 Irishman Abroad episodes that are no
