Irish author Sally Rooney's books will no longer be sold in the UK because she pledged to donate royalties to Palestine Action, a group banned under UK terrorism legislation.
Irish author Sally Rooney will no longer sell her books in the United Kingdom. Her publisher, Faber, cited Rooney's support for the activist group Palestine Action as the reason for the withdrawal. The publisher stated that it was an untenable situation to sell the author's work without being able to transfer royalties.
This decision arises from UK terrorism legislation, which prohibits the transfer of earnings to organizations deemed unlawful. Rooney had pledged to donate book revenues to Palestine Action, a group now banned under these regulations. The move affects the distribution and financial flow of her popular novels within the British market.
