A story showcasing the “voices” of rural Ireland is among the novels that have been shortlisted for a book awards established by coffee chain Caffe Nero.
Three Irish authors have been nominated in the Nero Book Awards this year, including Donal Ryan, from County Tipperary, whose book Heart, Be At Peace features in the fiction shortlist. His book “uses 21 different voices to explore the hopes and fears of young people and older generations in rural Ireland”, according to a description.
