There is one book that has been recommended to me over and over and over again, and it's currently on sale on Kindle.
Poor by Katriona O'Sullivan has to be one of the highest praised books in Ireland, with the book remaining in the charts years after its 2023 publication.
With praise from Barry Keoghan, Annie Mac, and Patrick Kielty, Poor is one book everyone should read in their lifetime.
It is currently on sale for €10.79. You can get 14% off Poor here.
The Kindle version is also available for just €6.83.
‘Poor charts Katriona O’Sullivan’s extraordinary journey as she emerges from a childhood marked by poverty, addiction, and homelessness.
‘Moving to Dublin from her home in Birmingham, Poor follows O’Sullivan as she overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles to earn a PhD from Trinity College Dublin and inspire a generation through her writing, teaching, and speaking.
‘This unforgettable story is vividly and movingly portrayed through her close relationships with family and friends, and thrums with the music that has resonated through her life.’
This book is full of clarity and heart, making it one of the most emotional stories you'll ever read.
Poor is a number one bestseller, but more importantly, it's a book that will inspire you to always keep trying.
O’Sullivan will release her new memoir Hungry in 2026, and we are already counting down the days to publication day.
Hungry: A Biography of My Body will be published on April 23rd, 2026.
You can pre-order Hungry here.
