Fans of award-winning writer Louise O'Neill will be thrilled to hear there's a new novel on the way. Louise, who writes a weekly column for the Irish Examiner's Weekend and also has a regular 'Dear Louise' column, says: "I’m very excited to finally be able to talk about Idol. I can’t wait for people to read it and to meet the inimitable Samantha Miller.”Who gets to tell the story? Transworld publishing director, Frankie Gray, has bought English language 'UK and Commonwealth' rights to Idol and a second book in a six-figure deal. Louise O'Neill is not afraid to take on a taboo but somehow always makes it utterly compelling.
