Catch Up with Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen on Our Deadly Summer

About this episode

Louise McSharry interviews Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen about their new novel 'Our Deadly Summer' and their writing journey.

How delightful to have regular contributor Emer McLysaght as a guest for this episode alongside her writing partner Sarah Breen. Emer and Sarah are responsible for the publishing phenomenon that is the Oh My God What a Complete Aisling books , and they've teamed up again for a new novel: Our Deadly Summer . We caught up on why they decided to stick together for this book, and why they didn't simply write another Aisling book, and the joy of writing a novel set in the heady nostalgia of the early 2000s.
