EVENTS
Our next four discussions are with Irish authors discussing their books involving domestic abuse. This series came about through Gabriel Byrne regularly sending links to our Founder+CEO Patrisha McLean of reviews of books in the Irish Times and when she let him know she loved the book, connecting her with the author!
We are thrilled to welcome as a partner in this series, Solas Nua, the Washington DC-based organization devoted to bringing to US audiences the best in Irish arts.
