Maggie O'Farrell on Land

Land is a story of buried treasure, overlapping lives, ancient woodland, persistent ghosts, a particularly loyal dog, and how, when it comes to both land and history, nothing ever goes away.

Inspired by the mapping of Ireland in the mid nineteenth century, Maggie's new novel is at once intimate and epic: a portrait of a family navigating a legacy of upheaval and survival with resilience and love.Maggie O’Farrell is one of the most loved writers in the English language and her nine novels have explored disparate themes – from incarceration, madness and treachery to love, bereavement and loss.

Maggie’s novels have been Sunday Times bestsellers and together have sold over a million copies in the UK and Ireland and have been translated in 43 languages around the world.
