By Colin Barrett

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Wild Houses by Colin Barrett explores one small Irish town as it hits breaking point. 

What We Say:  “A sensational debut novel that transports you to small-town Ireland, it’s a commentary on the power of human connection and the resilience of individuals in the face of adversity. A stellar read” – Katie Teehan

What They Say: “Colin Barrett quietly, insistently, writes so deeply into his characters you could reach out and touch them. Wild Houses is a gift of true storytelling, and Barrett’s talent burns up the page” – Anne Enright 

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble
