John Banville recommends
 A Landing On the Sun (1991) Michael Frayn "His work is as darkly ambiguous as that of Chekhov... and leaves one feeling an equal measure of laughter and sorrow." |  Death and Nightingales (1992) Eugene McCabe "It should put Eugene McCabe in the first rank of contemporary Irish novelists." |  My House in Umbria (2003) William Trevor "Trevor's is among the most subtle and sophisticated fiction being written today." |
 Inside (2006) Kenneth J Harvey "A tough, unrelenting novel, thrilling and darkly eloquent and, in the end, a celebration of what life offers in even the harshest of circumstances." |  The Informers (2008) Juan Gabriel Vásquez "A fine and frightening study of how the past preys upon the present, and an absorbing revelation of a little-known wing of the theatre of the Nazi war." |  The Truth About Love (2009) Josephine Hart "An ambitious and poetic weaving of a long-ago family tragedy into the tragic history, and histories, of our time. Josephine Hart has come home in triumph." |
