Poor is the compelling memoir from Katriona O'Sullivan, a number one bestseller and winner of Biography of the Year at the Irish Book Awards. This remarkable account, told with devastating candor, humor, and warmth, chronicles an extraordinary journey from an impoverished childhood shaped by parental addiction to becoming a prize-winning academic. Growing up bright and curious amidst abject poverty and chaos, Katriona faced immense challenges, including becoming pregnant and homeless at 15. The subsequent five years were a struggle for survival, marked by barely coping and drinking to escape. However, her life began to transform through the support of mentors and supporters who truly saw her potential. Teachers provided stability, encouraging her to pursue GCSEs, while a community worker inspired her to apply for training schemes. A pivotal moment arrived when a friend introduced her to Trinity College's access program while she was working as a cleaner. This paperback edition, with 304 pages and published by Penguin Books Ltd, offers a profound personal testimony. It is an impassioned plea for the future of children, delivered with warmth, clarity, and compassion for her parents, her younger self, and others. Praised as one of the best books on the complexities of poverty and featuring one of the most remarkable people you will ever meet according to The Guardian, Poor is a story of determination against the odds. This edition measures 196mm in height, 128mm in width, and 21mm in length. It is available for €10.99, with a regular price of €13.74, representing a 20% discount. The ISBN is 9780241996768.
