Jennifer McShane recommends the best new titles (with lots from Irish authors) worth savouring over these long autumn evenings.
There’s something eerily familiar about Catherine Prasifka’s, and its innocent beginnings of technology before a darker side unfolds. Told in second person, our narrator, who we know only as “You,” is enamoured with the internet and its cute Google searches of cats with just a few clicks. Things don’t stay cute when the first snatches of internet porn turn into “hardcore” videos and chatrooms.
Short stories are the perfect reads, but they sometimes get a bad rap as something to throw in a bag without much thought. In the best way possible, there’s nothing light and airy about Lucy Caldwell’s. Achingly real and sometimes too close for comfort, there’s the story of the mother who takes care of the kids while her husband works hospital shifts during lockdown, the only contact they have via FaceTime. Or the woman separated from her Muslim husband, alone with three kids in London.
When Maddy Wight is hired to ghost write the memoir of renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr Angela Reynolds, it’s a chance to get her career back on track. But on Angela’s remote estate in the Scottish Highlands in a glass-walled house, something feels off. Objects go missing, she feels constantly watched.
It’s the early 1980s and Fiona Neary and her family have recently moved back from England to the family farm in Mayo. In a decision that will change the course of their lives, Fiona’s mum decides to take in foster children –made out of compassion and also some financial necessity. Over the coming decade, so many children go in and out of the family home, but their faces, their stories, these Fiona can’t forget.
