Caoilinn Hughes recommends
The Benefactors (2025)
Wendy Erskine
"What a voice. What assurance and execution. Wendy Erskine writes like nobody else. The Benefactors is a masterful, memorable, electric novel that conveys a community of people and all their dramas pitch-perfectly, seemingly without manipulation, because the craft is deft and the feeling is real as all hell,"
Parallel Lines (2025)
Edward St. Aubyn
"Parallel Lines depicts characters whose hold on reality is fragile or fraught, but this novel's hold on reality is sure and convincing and passionate... [It is] dressmaker-deft on adult sibling relationships, on patient-therapist challenges, on the surprises of middle-age, on the pressure to accept our circumstances."
The Boy from the Sea (2025)
Garrett Carr
"An original and rambunctious Irish seafaring novel that vividly portrays a community moving through changing times and tides-as lively a portrait as it is convincing. With a refreshing narrative approach, The Boy From the Sea excels in its clarity and particularity of voice."
