Róisín Ingle

You went and studied in Queens and it was around the time of the peace process.

It was just the Good Friday Agreement.

So really rich time for you in terms of you mentioned like being an artist.

Obviously, you're born an artist and then you're but you don't have any outlet for it.

I mean, you couldn't even go to the cinema.

I think you've said cinema began with an S.

Oh, that's amazing.

I remember going to see Jeanne de Floret there once when I lived in Belfast.

It's a gorgeous cinema.

And also, just by the way, we should just tell everyone who hasn't been to Belfast or doesn't go what a great place it is to visit.

I mean, I know there's still a lot of problems, right?

And we know that.

But what a beautiful place Belfast is just to wander around.

The people are so friendly.

And, you know, I always find that in shops, just the way people interact.

It's just got a different vibe to anywhere else.

That's our little tourist dad out of the way.

And then you ended up in Portland, Oregon, which is fascinating to me because you actually were involved with the church and you had a church job there.

And this is your ninth book.

You're really prolific and busy.
