Irish bestselling novelist Sally Rooney's books will no longer be sold in the United Kingdom following her plans to use book royalties to support Palestine Action. The organization has been banned as a terrorist group in the UK.
Publisher Faber announced the withdrawal on Wednesday, explaining that the decision stems from circumstances that prevent the company from passing on UK earnings to the author. Both Rooney and her publisher confirmed the development.
