Service by Sarah Gilmartin is DCU Book Club's featured book in September 2025. Sarah, DCU Writer in Residence 2025, joins us as special guest for an 'in conversation with' event at Belvedere Library, Belvedere House, St. Patrick’s campus. Service by Sarah Gilmartin A compelling exploration of complicity, power, and the aftermath of abuse, Service tells the story of a disgraced celebrity chef and the young woman whose life was changed by his actions. Set in the world of fine dining and media spin, this taut and timely novel examines how public narratives are constructed—and who gets to tell them. With cool precision and emotional depth, Service asks what justice looks like in the wake of scandal. About the Author Sarah Gilmartin is a critically acclaimed Irish writer and journalist.
