Caoilinn Hughes recommends
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."
Madwoman (2024)
Chelsea Bieker
"This intense, propulsive novel takes an age-old story right up to the minute. In portraying the exhausting attempt to overcome violence and safeguard loved ones, Bieker writes with urgency, integrity and emotional acuity."
Enlightenment (2024)
Sarah Perry
"Gorgeous, galvanic, omniscient, intimate and eminently giving, Enlightenment is a novel to live with and learn by. As I read it, I felt housed by it. And, damn, did the house have skylights. Sarah Perry is a national treasure, and this is her best book yet."
