Alice Ryan

There’s Been a Little Incident is a witty and warm debut novel about family, grief, and the ways we come together when all seems lost. Molly Black has disappeared. She’s been flighty since her parents died, but this time it looks like she’s gone for good. That’s why the whole Black clan–from Granny perched on the printer to Killian on Zoom from Sydney–is huddled together in the Dublin suburbs, arguing over what to do. Alice Ryan’s first novel won the Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year at the 2022 Irish Book Awards. Alice will be in conversation with Gerry Foley.
