Just finished Old God’s Time by Sebastian Barry from your list. At first, a lot of laughs, the kind where you hope somebody hears and asks 'What?' and you get to read clever turns of phrase out loud; and later some weeping, the kind you hope nobody hears because you're not sure it's about the characters and the story or your own little sufferings. I will now get some of his other novels. Thank you for this recommendation.

Thank you Paul. Very useful to have your excellent curated list.
Thanks, Jeffrey!
The other one of his I’ve read is Days Without End, which is superb. He has a sequel to that book which sister Marie had read and recommended.
