Galway bookshop reports tenfold jump in Sally Rooney sales after UK withdrawal
Full story
Kenny’s Bookshop in Galway reported a tenfold increase in sales of titles by the Irish author Sally Rooney after the United Kingdom withdrew from the island. The surge in orders was traced mainly to customers residing in the UK, according to the shop’s staff. The retailer said the uptick has placed the store under a heavier workload to fulfil the demand. Staff noted that the majority of extra copies are being shipped across the Irish Sea. The shop’s manager linked the growth to heightened interest from British readers following recent political changes.
