What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Irish distributors are supplying books to Little Acorns Bookstore in Derry, allowing the store to continue stocking novels by Sally Rooney. This arrangement is necessary because publisher Faber halted UK supplies after Rooney announced plans to donate proceeds to Palestine Action, a group banned in Britain. The Derry bookstore owner, Jenni Doherty, orders stock through suppliers in the Republic of Ireland before distributing books globally, including in Britain.
