Rachel Donohue: How writing her novel became a way of escaping the pandemic

Rachel Donohue, author of The Beauty of Impossible Things.
Rachel Donohue launched her debut novel, The Temple House Vanishing, at Dubray Books on Grafton St, Dublin, at the end of February, 2020, at what would turn out to be the last celebratory gathering of her friends and family for quite a while.
“I was very lucky that I had an actual physical launch a couple of weeks before lockdown. It was one of the last nights I was with my parents, hugging them and all of that. It is a special night for that reason,” she says.
