The Sunshine Man is set in two timelines: 1989 and 1971.

In 1989, Bridie prepares to find and shoot the man, Jimmy Maguire, that murdered her sister upon his release from prison. She follows him as he’s picked up from the prison gates by his daughter, and as she drives him to old haunts and to visit his family.

In 1971, Jimmy and Providence are good friends. Jimmy and his family are outcasts, undesirables, always in trouble with the police. Providence can see beyond this with Jimmy.

This is such a sad story of family in all its guises (good and bad), revenge and redemption.

The Sunshine Man is a slow burn, but I found it worthwhile. I really got to know the characters, whether I really wanted to or not. Some were distinctly unpleasant people, but the motivations for their actions, whilst not excusable, were explained. I certainly won’t be forgetting this book in a hurry.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) shared own list

Nov 21, 2017
We live in the age of the TV revival – The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Prison Break, Roseanne... the list goes on. Popular series revived after years, sometimes decades, away from our screens.

But there are a few TV shows so resilient that they couldn't even be properly cancelled in the first place. Defying the networks, even the intentions of showrunners, this lot just wouldn't be kept down and continue to enjoy success.

Tracy Letts recommended Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983) in Movies (curated)

"A story about compassion and forgiveness set in a World War II Japanese prison camp, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence seems to improve with age and repeated viewings. The screenplay, by Nagisa Oshima and Paul Mayersberg, based on a book by Laurens van der Post, is oblique, brutal, poignant. Tom Conti, David Bowie, and Takeshi Kitano all give first-rate performances, and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s score is heartbreaking. The last five minutes never fail to destroy me"
