Acclaimed Irish writer, Jennifer Johnston, joins Róisín Ingle this week to talk about her latest novel, Naming the Stars. Johnston is happy with the book, which she says is “rather good”. On the Róisín Meets podcast, she says writing again at the age of 86 feels like she is “winning”. She also talks about her life growing up in Dublin, writing the ‘great Irish novel’ and the joys of her grandchildren.
