Cecelia outsells entire Booker shortlist line-up
Miss Ahern’s A Place Called Here has sold 24,269 copies in Ireland since publication last October, while the six on the shortlist for the world’s most prestigious literary prize have notched up combined sales figures of 18,391.
Perhaps worse for Ireland’s literary high-brow, glamour model Jordan’s latest book, Crystal, is ahead of all bar two of the Booker list novels in the Irish sales charts. Trade figures from Nielsen BookScan, which compiles the bestseller lists, reveal that Crystal has sold 2,176 paperback and hardback copies in the Republic of Ireland.
