Ann Ingle

Ann Ingle is an eighty-seven-year-old writer, mother of eight, grandmother of eighteen and one of Ireland’s most beloved late bloomers. Her first book Driven ( Harper Collins, 2017), a biography of racing driver Rosemary Smith, was nominaed for an An Post Irish book award. At eighty-two, she published her second book, a memoir, Open Hearted (Penguin 2022), which was critically acclaimed for its honesty and humour. With her trademark wit and fearlessness, she now turns her attention to the truth and comedy of ageing — a topic she knows inside and out.
