Roddy Doyle recommends
thumb
Where They Lie (2024)
Claire Coughlan
"Gripping and brilliantly atmospheric, and Nicoletta Sarto, the novel's protagonist - the way she talks, the way she thinks - is a great invention."
thumb
Wild Houses (2024)
Colin Barrett
"Vivid and wild, funny and chilling - Wild Houses is the business."
thumb
Glorious Exploits (2024)
Ferdia Lennon
"In At Swims-Two-Birds, Flann O'Brien gave us cowboys riding through Dublin. Now, Ferdia Lennon gives us modern-day Dubliners living among the ancient Greeks. This is a very special, very clever, very entertaining novel."
