One of the most successful Irish books of all time

There is one book that has been recommended to me over and over and over again, and it's currently on sale on Kindle.

With praise from Barry Keoghan, Annie Mac, and Patrick Kielty, Poor is one book everyone should read in their lifetime.

What is Poor by Katriona O'Sullivan about?

‘Poor charts Katriona O’Sullivan’s extraordinary journey as she emerges from a childhood marked by poverty, addiction, and homelessness.

‘Moving to Dublin from her home in Birmingham, Poor follows O’Sullivan as she overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles to earn a PhD from Trinity College Dublin and inspire a generation through her writing, teaching, and speaking.

‘This unforgettable story is vividly and movingly portrayed through her close relationships with family and friends, and thrums with the music that has resonated through her life.’

This book is full of clarity and heart, making it one of the most emotional stories you'll ever read. 

Poor is a number one bestseller, but more importantly, it's a book that will inspire you to always keep trying.

O’Sullivan will release her new memoir Hungry in 2026, and we are already counting down the days to publication day.

Hungry: A Biography of My Body will be published on April 23rd, 2026.

You can pre-order Hungry here.
