I read Rule of the Land years ago (a gift from Sinéad Gleeson) and was very impressed by it. Recently I read Carr's novel, shortlisted at the Irish Book Awards 2025, and found it a whole other kettle of complicated fish and family. The village it's set in becomes a character in its own right in a sort of wry, John McGahern way. Both well worth reading.
