Maggie O'Farrell recommends
Whale Fall (2024)
Elizabeth O'Connor
"Whale Fall is an astonishingly assured debut that straddles many polarities: love and loss, the familiar and the strange, trust and betrayal, land and sea, life and death. O'Connor has created a beguiling and beguiled narrator in Manod: I loved seeing the world through her eyes, and I didn't want the novel to end"
Hagstone (2024)
Sinéad Gleeson
"An intelligent, probing novel about isolation, art, and the incompatible desires for both solitude and community."
North Woods (2023)
Daniel Mason
"North Woods is a monumental achievement of polyphony and humanity. Relating the narrative of an entire country via a single plot of land, it sweeps the reader through hundreds of years and an array of protagonists with a deft, heartbreaking, idiosyncratic zeal. I loved it."
