Clare writer Niall Williams’ ninth novel is a tender portrait of a rural community – its idiosyncrasies and traditions, its paradoxes and kindnesses, its failures and triumphs – and a coming-of-age tale like no other. This is Happiness has been selected as the novel for Clare County Library’s new Clare Reads initiative, and was nominated for The Walter Scott prize, the Irish Book Awards and was listed among The Washington Post’s 50 best novels of 2019.
