LAUNCH | Tom Burne Has Left the Chat by Seán Farrelly
This event has now passed.
Join us for the launch of Seán Farrelly’s debut YA novel, Tom Burne Has Left the Chat. The novel is a coming-of-age story exploring loneliness and grief against the backdrop of coastal Dublin, a powerful exploration of mental health perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow or John Green.
“This wasn’t my phone. This was real. Tom had died today, literally died, and here I was, picking through the digital carrion like some sort of virtual vulture.”
All are welcome to attend and refreshments will be served.
