Roisin Meaney

Roisin Meaney was born in Listowel, County Kerry, though her family moved to Tipperary town before she was one. After that Meaney moved to Limerick and has, one way or another, lived there since, with periods in the US, London and Africa. Meaney qualified as a primary teacher and taught in Dublin before spending two years in Zimbabwe. In London she worked as a copywriter for three years. Back in Ireland she resumed her teaching but also began writing, and in 2001 her first novel, The Daisy Picker, won a Write a Bestseller competition and was published in 2004. Meaney switched to job-sharing to allow more time for writing until, four years later, with three published novels and another on the way she took early retirement from the classroom and became a fulltime writer. Her nineteenth novel, The Book Club was published in June 2021 and she's currently working on the next, due out in summer 2022.[1][2][3][4][5]
