Land
by Maggie O'Farrell
On an Atlantic peninsula in 1865, a father and his ten-year-old son map a country gutted by the Great Hunger for the British Ordnance Survey. Then the father walks into a stand of trees and comes back changed. Maggie O'Farrell's Land is patient, weather-soaked Irish historical fiction for readers who want grief, landscape, and sentences that take their time.
