Alanna (rhymes with Hannah) was born and raised in Nottingham, England. After completing a Bachelors degree in Classics at Christ’s College, Cambridge, she lived and worked in Sydney, London and Nottingham before moving to Barcelona to do a Masters in International Relations.

She now works at the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association in Barcelona, implementing EU-funded projects in economic development in the Southern Mediterranean. She speaks Spanish, is learning Catalan, and enjoys travelling (when COVID allows), scuba-diving and salsa-dancing.

Abolish the Rose, by Alanna Irving, takes us on a journey through the past in search of meaning in the present. Through a vivid catalogue of heart-warming and harrowing life experiences, we are drawn to question, along with Camille - how much control do we have over the path our lives take? Would we change the past if we had the chance? What is a life well lived? Genre: Contemporary Fiction; Literary Fiction. Keep up with Alanna at www.alannairvin.com
