Belinda McKeon recommends
A River in the Trees (2019)
Jacqueline O'Mahony
"A gripping novel about two women, their desires and frustrations, about the wars they find themselves fighting . . . a thrill to discover."
He Is Mine and I Have No Other (2018)
Rebecca O'Connor
"He Is Mine And I Have No Other is a book of secrets, and it burns with the sadness and starkness particular to lives forced into secrecy and silence. And yet there is, too, in this story a lucid and beautiful happiness, fragile though it may be; the happiness of being young, and in love, and of finding that love returned. Rebecca O'Connor captures vividly the small triumphs and catastrophes of being a teenage girl in rural Ireland, but in the further darkness to which she reaches is a truth for all generations."
What To Do About the Solomons (2017)
Bethany Ball
"A riveting family drama which feels at once solidly classic and bitingly contemporary; if Transparent and A Thousand Acres snuck off and had a kid, you'd have What to Do About the Solomons."
