I first found Michael Crummey when Galore came out and I haven't been disappointed by his books yet. Sweetland is a little less lyrical, perhaps because it is set completely in the more modern era, so develops less of the mythical/folklore weave. This makes it maybe more disturbing than his other works I've read. His characters are amazing and the myriad of ways you can interpret the events makes this book a keeper for many re readings.
