Louise Nealon recommends

Other People's Lives (2026)
Kathleen MacMahon
"A tender-hearted portrait of modern life, told with MacMahon's trademark wit and warmth. I flew through it."

The Wardrobe Department (2025)
Elaine Garvey
"A gift of a novel. I felt relieved after reading it, like I had been hungry for some elusive feeling, and finally found something that hit the spot. There are sentences in this book that will keep me going for a long time."

Nesting (2025)
Roisin O'Donnell
"Nesting is a triumph of a novel. I raced through it. A beautifully crafted, unflinching portrait of the lengths a mother must go to to make a home for herself and those she loves."
