Louise Kennedy recommends
The Alternatives (2024)
Caoilinn Hughes
"Caoilinn Hughes is one of the most intelligent, surprising, and delightful writers around. The Alternatives made me laugh, cry, and think. Any one of the Flattery sisters would have made a compelling story; together they are glorious, as is this novel."
The Wren, the Wren (2023)
Anne Enright
"These pages practically crackle with intelligence, compassion and wit. Phil McDaragh is so real I almost googled him. As for the women he left ... Carmel's mothering made me blush with recognition and I wanted the world for Nell. The Wren, The Wren might just be Anne Enright's best yet."
Tell Me What I Am (2023)
Una Mannion
"This beautiful, haunting novel beats with the heart of a thriller, but is so much more. Una Mannion is a writer of extraordinary talent, compassion and power."
