From Irish lit to insights on AI, politics and media: some of the best new books around.
– the main character, Irish-born Eilis Lacey, flees her Long Island home upon learning that her American husband has impregnated another woman. Returning after 20 years to her hometown in Ireland with her teenage children, she reconnects with those she left behind. A haunting, beautifully written novel about regret and longing, love and betrayal – and whether it is possible to recapture the past.
Going back to the Declaration of Independence, Bryant illustrates how America is anything but democratic, giving examples of political violence to rival the January 6 attacks on the Capitol and of previous demagogic and authoritarian leaders. Not a comfort read, but an engrossing one that will leave you better informed about America’s political history.
