Dublin writer Caitriona Lally’s first novel, Eggshells, was published in the US by Melville House (2017) and in the UK by Borough Press (2018). Eggshells, was shortlisted for the Newcomer of the Year Award at the 2015 Irish Book Awards and the Kate O’Brien Debut Novel Award. She is the 2018 winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and the 2019 recipient of the Lannan Fiction Fellowship.
Much media attention has been directed at the fact that Lally worked as on the housekeeping team in Trinity College, where she also studied English and returned to accept the prestigious Rooney Prize. However, with the lead character in her new novel working as a cleaner, it has clearly been a source of inspiration too.
Caitriona will be interviewed by Paula Shields and this event will pre-recorded.
