Biography
Pine was born in 1977.[4][5] She lived in Dublin before she moved with her family to London.[6]
She returned Ireland to finish her education at Trinity College.[7] While teaching at UCD, she has written books about difficulties in Ireland and how people remember those events.[8]
Up to 2019, Pine had been writing books on true educational stories. She wrote the book, Notes to self, about her private stories.[2] The book is a collection of essays about her own life. The subjects include infertility and miscarriages, eating problems, alcoholism, divorce, forced sex, being poor and body hair.[9] Josefin Holmström said in Svenska Dagbladet that Pine's book showed a new way of talking about private female things.[10] The book won the 2018 Irish Book of the Year prize from An Post .[11][12]
Before 2022, Pine stopped teaching for a year to write her book Ruth & Pen. It is a fictional story about two women over one day. The story is written in the same way Joyce 's Ulysses book was written about events that happened in one day.[2]
