The Benefactors, by Wendy Erskine, is based in Belfast and the story is polyphonic, in fact there are over 50 voices featured in the book. From the prize-winning author of Dance Move and Sweet Home, this is a rigorously intelligent novel about intimate histories, class and money in modern-day Northern Ireland. – and what being a parent means.

How do we live when our loved ones are dying? How do we make sense of the world in their wake? In This Interim Time, Oona Frawley reconsiders the death of her father in New York, the loss of her parents’ home in Ireland before she was born, and the births of her children. It is a stunning meditation on memory, family and the brief windows of life we share with those we love.

A wildly inventive and epic tale of greed, revenge and love set in eighteenth-century Latin America, Eden’s Shore by Oisín Fagan is a shimmering work. Angel Kelly, an Irishman, sets sail from Liverpool with the intention of creating a Utopian commune in Brazil. But when a mutiny takes place on the ship, he finds himself stranded upon the coast of an unnamed Spanish colony.
