Ordinary Human Failings: RTÉ Arena on Megan Nolan's new novel

In 2021, Megan Nolan made her name as a gifted author with her first novel Acts of Desperation, the tale of a young woman's difficult romance set in the Dublin arts scene.

Now the Waterford-born, London-based writer is back with her second book, Ordinary Human Failings. It opens in 1990 in a London council estate where a toddler has just been found dead.

Edel Coffey has been reading Nolan's book and joins Arena from the Galway studio to tell us more - listen above.
