Normal People author Sally Rooney has said her novels will no longer be supplied to booksellers in the UK as a result of her support for Palestine Action. The Irish novelist said last year she intended to carry on using her royalties to support the group, which is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK. In a statement to BBC News, Rooney said further publication of her work could constitute a serious criminal offence, so she had agreed with her publisher Faber not to continue supplying her books in the UK. I have made every effort to be honest with the public about my beliefs and intentions, and I am wholly prepared to accept the consequences, she said. Ebook editions have already been removed from sale in the UK, although many book shops still have existing stock of physical copies.
