Beginner’s pluck: Full-time writer Grace Flahive

Funny and heartwarming, 'Palm Meridian' novel portrays a realistic, yet not dystopian view of the future

Canadian-born author Grace Flahive: 'My grandparents moved from Co Kildare in 1951. I’m an Irish citizen.'

Grace spent her early summers reading, and has been writing stories since she was a small child.

“I wrote my first novel — a very self-indulgent one — as a teenager, and continued writing through university.”
