Poor by Katriona O'Sullivan is one of the most important and popular Irish books of the last decade. It is one book that is constantly recommended to me, and one everyone needs to read at some stage in their life.
The best-seller by Katriona O'Sullivan was published in 2023, so we've been itching for another book from the Irish author, and thankfully, the wait is now over.
Katriona O'Sullivan is back with her new memoir, Hungry, and it is set to be an instant bestseller.
Katriona O'Sullivan is a master at writing about the things we all feel and worry about, but in a way that never feels preachy. She writes in a way that is actually comforting. Knowing you're not the only one who has a complicated relationship with their body is reassuring.
Katriona's words are awakening, but also eye-opening, especially for those of us who have spent most of our lives making ourselves smaller, in both our bodies and the spaces we fear we don't belong in.
In this fiercely honest memoir, she interrogates how trauma, class, and gender shape the way women see themselves - and how society teaches them to measure their value. Told with stunning courage and vulnerability, Hungry is both a personal reckoning and a powerful reclaiming of body, voice, and self. It is one woman's story - and a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive.

Hungry is the powerful new memoir from number one bestselling author Katriona O'Sullivan - a raw, courageous exploration of survival, identity, and the lifelong search for self-acceptance. Raised in a home marked by poverty, addiction, and abuse, Katriona defied the odds: from teenage motherhood, struggling with her own addictions, to becoming a university professor and successful author. But beneath the achievements lay a more private struggle - with her body, her worth, and the unrelenting drive to be enough.
