''After Helen'' comes recommended by us. It's one for readers who enjoy good prose and thoughtful writing, and themes of family breakdown and resolution.
If you like ''After Helen'' you will love Paul's next book: [[Weekend Pass by Paul Cavanagh|Weekend Pass]]. Family relationships - and problems in marriages - also feature in [[This Perfect World by Suzanne Bugler]]. [[The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness]] also looks at a man who has married a woman who could never "belong" to him and adds Japanese folk lore folklore into the mix.
