Sad ending for a bestselling novelist

I WONDER how many people in Cork, currently European City of Culture, have heard of the Cork woman whose novel The Gadfly has sold millions of copies, translated into 29 languages, making it one of the bestselling books ever by an Irish author.

In a recent BBC documentary on China, some people from the Cultural Revolution era were asked if there was any book which influenced them. Many replied, "The Gadfly".

I wonder is it for sale in any bookshop in Cork?
