This is the official website of Irish author Léan Cullinan.
Léan grew up in a distinguished literary family and has been writing since childhood. She is a graduate of the MPhil in Creative Writing at Trinity College Dublin and sings in one of Ireland’s finest choirs. An incurable textile nerd, she lives in Dublin with one husband and two sons.
Léan's first novel is The Living, published in 2014 by Atlantic Books.
“This book would not have been possible ten years ago, when the story of Irish republicanism was still mired in secrecy, pride and shame. The Living is an intelligent, redemptive novel — it deals in loyalty and lies, untangling connections, making things clear. A trenchant and assured debut.”
