New Irish Fiction

The amazing new novel from bestselling author Fiona O'Brien.

Summer has arrived to the sleepy Irish seaside town of Ballyanna, and so, too, has an American family ...

A sparkling summery read from the bestselling author of The Summer Visitors and The Summer We Were Friends.

Along with one or two books by James Joyce, Flann O'Brien's At Swim-Two-Birds is the most famous (and infamous) of Irish novels published in the twentieth century.

Pray for the Wanderer, usually regarded by critics as Kate O'Brien's response to the banning of Mary Lavelle in Ireland, is much more than a discourse on culture and censorship. It explores the emotional pain of an Irish writer genuinely torn between the artistic freedom of abroad and the beguiling beauty and security of home.

Tongues is a radical retelling of the twelfth-century legend of Heloise and Abelard, she the rapt acolyte, he the brilliant logician.

The hatreds and loves hidden in ordinary lives, carved from the backgrounds of urban and rural mindscapes. They contain the life spirits and losses of people as changes arrive oddly. Nothing is simple. Life as we wish it to be might not be so.
