Stephen Harrigan recommends
Bonfire Night (2023)
Anna Bliss
"Bonfire Nightis a beautifully crafted book about love, war, hope, fear, betrayal, and forgiveness; about missed chances and impossible choices. And although this is Anna Bliss's first novel it's the work of a wise and warmhearted storyteller, someone who understands what's at stake when decent people find themselves caught in the surging currents of history."
The Tubman Command (2019)
Elizabeth Cobbs
"Elizabeth Cobbs writes with the expertise of an historian and the intimacy and immediacy of a gifted novelist."
Wolves of Eden (2018)
Kevin McCarthy
"When it comes to saturation-level historical authenticity - the sense of being there, alive and at large in the vanished past - I think Kevin McCarthy is in the company of masters like Patrick O’Brian and Hilary Mantel. Wolves of Eden is also a shiningly humane novel, all the more credible for being told by an Irish author, about the immigrant soldiers who found themselves on the front lines during the harrowing seizure of the American West."
