Alex Clark talks to Kirsty Logan about her magical debut novel The Gracekeepers, to Vesna Goldsworthy about her Gatsby-inspired novel Gorsky and to Irish Laureate Anne Enright about her latest novel, The Green Road.

Kirsty Logan - The Gracekeepers

A flooded world. 

A floating circus. 

Two women in search of a home.

North lives on a circus boat with her beloved bear, keeping a secret that could capsize her life.

Callanish lives alone in her house in the middle of the ocean, tending the graves of those who die at sea. As penance for a terrible mistake, she has become a gracekeeper.

A chance meeting between the two draws them magnetically to one another - and to the promise of a new life.

But the waters are treacherous, and the tide is against them.

Anne Enright - The Green Road

Hanna, Dan, Constance and Emmet return to the west coast of Ireland for a final family Christmas in the home their mother is about to sell. As the feast turns to near painful comedy, a last, desperate act from Rosaleen - a woman who doesn't quite know how to love her children - forces them to confront the weight of family ties and the road that brought them home.
