Are You Somebody? 30th Anniversary edition by Nuala O'Faolain

Upon its original publication in 1996, Are You Somebody? quickly became a cultural sensation in Ireland, sparking an ‘emotional episode in public life in Ireland.'  O’Faolain’s striking candour and focus on the long-silenced experiences of Irish women helped the book become an international bestseller.  Are You Somebody? is an extraordinary memoir that explores identity, love and the search for meaning in a changing Ireland.

Nuala O’Faolain shares her life with unflinching honesty – her struggles, triumphs and the questions that shaped her journey. This is more than a memoir; it’s a conversation about what it means to live fully, to question deeply and to embrace vulnerability.
