Louise O’Neill: A Bigger Life as part of Red Line Book Festival 2026

Bestselling author Louise O’Neill sits down with Senator Lynn Ruane to discuss her new memoir, A Bigger Life. At 38, the end of a long-term relationship left Louise questioning the future she had imagined for herself. Her decision to say yes, take risks and try something different led to a dating experiment that took her from Paris and London to New York and beyond. Described by Marian Keyes as “a groundbreaking shift in how we talk about women, love and relationships,” A Bigger Life is a candid exploration of heartbreak, desire, sexual freedom, and the expectations placed on women. Louise and Lynn will discuss starting again, embracing uncertainty and what it means to build a bigger life on your own terms.
Followed by Q&A and book signing.
