The Island of Imagination – Éilís Ní Dhuibhne in conversation with Oisín Fagan and Roisín O’Donnell

In this episode, Éilís talks to novelists Oisín Fagan and Roisín O’Donnell about their respective novels Eden’s Shore and Nesting.

Described as ‘a striking new talent’ (The Times) and ‘a true original’ (Irish Examiner), Oisín’s latest novel Eden’s Shore, set in an era of global upheaval, is an epic and intricate tale of greed, revenge and love.

Roisín O’Donnell has been described as a ‘novelist who has powerful news to tell, and an impressive range of narrative gifts with which to tell it (Irish Times). Her novel Nesting (An Post Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year 2025) is the story of one woman’s bid to start over.

This event was recorded at Trim Library and Swift Cultural Centre, with thanks to Meath Libraries.
