Breaking Point: Edel Coffey in Conversation with Rachael English

Join author and journalist Edel Coffey, in conversation with Rachael English, for a discussion on her debut novel Breaking Point.

Published to rave reviews earlier this year, Breaking Point is a raw and compelling examination of the societal pressures put on women to juggle careers and personal lives and to ‘have it all’. The novel charts the story of Susannah - a highly successful paediatrician, parenting self-help author and mother-of-two - and the aftermath of what happens when while driving her daughter to nursery one morning a change in her routine leads to a devastating mistake.
