Publisher Faber has confirmed that books by author Sally Rooney have been withdrawn from sale within the United Kingdom. The decision follows reports linking the move to Rooney’s public support for Palestine Action, an activist group known for direct action campaigns.

According to Faber, the withdrawal is a direct result of administrative and financial complications. The publisher stated that it is currently operating under circumstances where it cannot pass on UK earnings to the author. While the publisher’s statement focuses on the technical inability to process royalties or payments, the timing of the decision has drawn significant public attention due to the author's political activism.

There is currently no information regarding how long these books will remain off the market or if the publisher intends to resolve the financial transfer issues. The situation highlights the intersection of international political activism and the logistical constraints faced by publishers when managing author earnings across different jurisdictions.
