Garrett Carr recommends
Stations (2026)
Louise Kennedy
"Stations takes hold from the first page, it's all raw and it's all true. You're pitched straight into the story, heart-first. Only later does the social history in the novel occur to you: in vivid scenes Stations reconstructs a time when work on an English building site was the expectation of thousands of young Irish men. It would've been my expectation too, probably, had I been born ten years earlier. I don't think there has ever been a better examination of Ireland's relationship to London; a place to where the Irish were often pulled by their ambition, or pushed by their regrets."
