Maggie O'Farrell
Maggie O'Farrell makes a welcome return with her extraordinary new novel, Land – a sweeping, multi-generational epic inspired by her own family history and the dramatic landscapes of Ireland’s Atlantic coast.
Set in 1865, in the shadow of the Great Hunger, the novel follows mapmaker Tomás and his son as they survey a devastated country.
When they discover an uncharted woodland absent from every existing map, a strange encounter sets in motion a journey through buried histories, longing and survival.
Join one of contemporary fiction’s greatest storytellers as she explores the way history shapes both landscapes and the lives bound to them.
'A deep-mapping of a place and its people, a heart-bursting story of resilience and love. Land is simply the best novel I've read in years' Louise Kennedy
