Irish writer Eimear Ryan recently published her debut novel ‘Holding her Breath’ in June this year. It has been praised as the perfect read for fans who love Sally Rooney, Dolan and Anna Hope. Authors we have much admired and indulged in. It’s an honour to have the latest in that line up today. She is currently writer in residence at University College Cork.
