Frank McCourt recommends

The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty (1998) Sebastian Barry "It's a symphony of a novel, and you'll sing along and wander with Eneas McNulty into the next century."	The Dress Lodger (1998) Sheri Holman "Sheri Holman's prose, tart, racy and sombre, will sing in your soul a long while. "	44: A Dublin Memoir (1999) Peter Sheridan "Sharp, jazzy, hilarious and often painful... You'll rejoice in this wild song of a book."
Boy Still Missing (2001) John Searles "Once you get into this novel, you'll forget the world - the book is that seductive, that suspenseful."	Peace Like a River (2001) Leif Enger "Wonderous and wise."	The Tea Rose (2002) (Rose , book 1) Jennifer Donnelly "A splendid, heartwarming, novel of pain, struggle, decency, triumph."
America 2014: An Orwellian Tale (2004) Dawn Blair "This is a hell of a story, deftly-written, with a wacky, delicious sense of humor."	Here They Come (2006) Yannick Murphy "This is a hell of a book. You might not be able to finish Here They Come in one sitting, but it will haunt you till you do. What detail! What characters! I can imagine both Jane Austen and Raymond Carver poring over this masterly novel."	Well Read and Dead (2009) (High Society Mystery, book 2) Catherine O'Connell "One hell of a storyteller, a master of plot, [and] a tart observer of the social scene."
