Kiri Allan's six-year political career spanned some of the most challenging times in recent history.

Go Hard or Go Home is the story of the person beyond the headlines, from church-going child to charismatic hitch-hiker to precocious law student to former politician. Honest, fierce and deeply moving, Kiri's memoir asks what it costs to keep going when you can't live in half measures, and what it takes to rebuild your life.

Go Hard or Go Home by Kiri Allen, coming August 2026.

It's here... Noelle McCarthy's darkly funny, visceral follow-up to the acclaimed memoir Grand has arrived🧛

Growing up in Catholic Ireland, Noelle McCarthy is captivated by Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The vampire is a risk-free fantasy, a suave alternative to the fraught realities of desire.

Twenty years later, exhausted by her unruly appetites, Noelle returns to Dracula, reckoning with her own history and a changing world: generation-spanning shame and trauma given voice by the MeToo movement and the horrors emerging from Irish soil.

Stakes by Noelle McCarthy is available now.

Need an on-theme read for Kings Birthday Weekend? David Mitchell has you sorted. This will be the most refreshing, entertaining history of England you'll have ever read. Certainly, the funniest.

Unruly by David Mitchell is a seriously funny, seriously clever history of the early Kings and Queens of Britain 👑
