Irish writer Louise Nealon announces her second novel Everything That Is Beautiful

Louise Nealon has announced her second novel

The Snowflake writer confirmed her novel will be called Everything That Is Beautiful.

The best-selling novel has been long-awaited since the immense success of her debut novel Snowflake in 2021.

The novel follows the lives of three women, Niamh, Helen, and Kate, whose relationship becomes strained after a series of distressing events.

Everything That Is Beautiful synopsis reads:

For Niamh Ryan, the Foleys are family. Her childhood flew by on their farm, playing with her best friend Peter and his sister Kate - all the while being doted on by their mother Helen and coached by their father Liam, a legendary former hurling player.

Now, following a distressing series of events, the family ties are strained. Niamh receives drunken phone calls and messages from Peter, who can't understand what derailed their burgeoning relationship three years ago.

Meanwhile, Helen Foley is trying her best to escape her life by checking into guesthouses under the names of women she went to school with. In her life in Belfast, Kate is attempting to hold down a job and a relationship while carrying the weight of the family's secrets, and feeling like she is the one to blame.

As a family wedding looms, and the women find themselves face to face, the knotty love that still binds Niamh, Helen, and Kate might just bring them back together again.

Everything That Is Beautiful will be released in April 2026.
