Eilis Barrett decided to be a writer at 12 and is releasing her debut novel at 16
EILIS Barrett. That’s a new name on the Irish writing scene and one about which you’ll be hearing a lot. It’s the name of a young writer so fine that at the age of 15 she landed her first book deal. Set in a dystopian universe, her debut novel Oasis was released last week.
A coming-of-age escapade, it’s extraordinarily engaging. But then, so too is the young lady herself.
