Deep Dive: Author Louise O'Neill on her new book, feminism, growing up in the 2000s & more

Deep Dive: Jan Carson on writing her new novel, Few and Far Between
Q: What was your starting point for developing the characters Marion and Robert John?

Deep Dive: Jan Carson on writing her new novel, Few and Far Between
Q: How did the idea for this book come about?
The genesis came from a newspaper article about Terence O'Neill and a failed writing project in France; a combination of real historical schemes and a writer's imagination coalesced into a story about an archipelago that acts as a sanctuary and a lens for examining Northern Ireland's past and present.
