THE GLOSS - XMAS READS

In The Gloss today (free with the Irish Times), several writers (including me) recommend books for Christmas, in an article called 'Great Reads for Good Friends', compiled by Antonia Hart. I'm in fine company: Emma Donoghue, Nell Regan, Colum Mc Cann, Molly McCloskey, Aifric Campbell, William Ryan and Justin Quinn.

I recommend Anakana's Schofield's Malarky, Edith Pearlman's Binocular Vision , Steven Heighton's Workbook and Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys.
