Sally Rooney has said she can no longer sell her books in the UK because of her support for the banned protest group Palestine Action.
The ban, which began on July 5 2025, made membership of, or support for, the direct-action group a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
The Irish author, 35, previously said she would donate earnings from her books and BBC adaptations of novels to Palestine Action, which has a stated goal of “ending global participation in Israel’s genocidal and apartheid regime”.
As a result, Rooney’s publisher, Faber, has determined it cannot sell her novels in Britain.
