What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Faber & Faber stopped distributing Sally Rooney's books in the UK after agreeing with the author. This action was taken because British anti-terrorism legislation prevents the publisher from passing on earnings from UK book sales to Rooney. The withdrawal of the books is linked to Rooney's support for a pro-Palestinian action group.
