The long-awaited return of Julia Kelly is finally here! STILL is a profoundly moving memoir that transforms grief into something unforgettable - vivid, life-affirming, and unexpectedly joyful. Available everywhere now! www.newisland.ie/shop/p/still... #juliakelly #memoir #irishwriters

Julia Kelly's Still is totally enthralling - I read the c.150 pages in two sessions. A memoir centred on her mother's death, it depicts the life & foibles of a family in incredible detail. Very much a product of their environment, 20th century Dublin. 1/2 @newislandbooks.bsky.social

For fans of tote bags and/or Nuala O'Faolain www.newisland.ie/shop/p/the-n...

Thrilled my essay 'Take Comfort In Your Friends' has been chosen for inclusion in the Sunday Miscellany anthology! In great company too! @sundaymiscellany.bsky.social
