Bridget Carrick The Belfast Express 30 April 2026

Brigid Carrick joins Cheralyn Darcey on The Nightline to share the powerful story behind her debut novel The Belfast Express. Drawing on her early years as a midwife in 1970s Dublin, Brigid reflects on a time when contraception was illegal and women had little control over their own bodies. Inspired by real events like the 1971 Contraception Train protest, this conversation explores resilience, change and the courage it takes to find your voice. It’s a deeply human story that still echoes today. The Belfast Express, Bridget Carrick from all good book stores. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
