She was born in the west of Ireland in 1991, and her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Granta and The London Review of Books.
She is the winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award in 2017, and the editor of the Irish literary journal The Stinging Fly.
Her latest novel, Intermezzo is an exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family.
The book is on sale for only $18 on Amazon Australia, normally $34.99.
The story follows two brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek who seem to have very little in common.
Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties who is successful, competent and apparently unassailable.
But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women, his enduring first love Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.
Whereas Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player and the opposite of Peter.
He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother.
Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.
Shoppers have given the new novel a 4.4-star rating on Amazon Australia’s website and say they are “blown away” by the book.
“Sally Rooney’s latest book is by far her best since Normal People,” said one.
“She has the happy gift of being smarter than you and writing about people smarter than you and not sneering at you – instead, reading Sally Rooney makes you feel smarter,” added another.
