Irish author Sally Rooney
Sally Rooney books may be withdrawn from UK sale over Palestine Action ban

Its co-founder is challenging that ban in the High Court, arguing it interferes with the right to protest.The author of Normal People, which was adapted into one of the most watched BBC dramas of recent...
