The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry. He’s a wonderful Irish novelist but even more well-known as an Irish playwright. It’s an incredibly heartfelt story. You know those Irish—they write. Anybody who takes my recommendation will thank me for it.

I concur with Mr. Lithgow's recommendation; but be warned, once you start reading you cannot put it down until you finish.
