William Trevor recommends
 An End to Flight (1973) Vincent Lawrence (Vincent Banville) "Sharply etched... novels as good as this one are necessary to remind us that life is not all soft-soap and panel games." |  How Many Miles to Babylon? (1974) Jennifer Johnston "As fresh and as moving as ever it was, this remarkable novel is still a delight, undiminished by the passage of time." |  Mother Ireland (1976) Edna O'Brien "Edna O'Brien at her best." |
