Nesting 2

Nesting by Roisín O’Donnell is a tense, compassionate novel of domestic suspense set in Dublin, following a mother who makes a sudden, brave break for safety. On a bright spring afternoon, Ciara Fay bundles her two young daughters into the car and leaves, knowing only that going home isn’t an option.

What begins as escape quickly becomes a precarious start-over. With little money, no steady work and family far away, Ciara is pushed into the harsh realities of Ireland’s housing crisis, trying to keep life steady for her children while her husband’s pressure to return tightens around her. O’Donnell writes with sharp emotional insight, capturing the small negotiations of survival alongside the bigger question of what freedom costs.

Perfect for readers drawn to Irish fiction, motherhood stories, and psychological dramas that feel painfully real.
