Niamh Mulvey is a writer from Kilkenny. Her first book, a short story collection called Hearts and Bones: Love Songs for Late Youth was published in 2022 and was shortlisted for the John McGahern award. Rachel Cusk said of it: ‘her writing has the unassailable sanity peculiar to an authentic literary gift, and her themes of female being and becoming take on a new vigour and a new seriousness in the light of it.
Her first novel, The Amendments was published in April this year. The Observer called it “a questing first novel of significant prowess.”
