“A breathtaking hymn to the sanctity of natural spaces, operating on timescales both intimate and geological. I finishedLandmoved not only by the vivid lives of its human characters, but the thrumming, gorgeous presence of its mosses, waters, winds, and skies.” —Daniel Mason, author ofNorth Woods Join us on Thursday, June 25 at 3 PM ET as we welcome Maggie O'Farrell, the award-winning, bestselling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait, for a virtual discussion of her new book, LAND, a soaring historical novel set in Ireland in the years before and after the Great Hunger. LAND is a novel about separation and reunion, tragedy and recovery, colonization and rebellion. It 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. As spellbinding and varied as the landscape that inspired it, LAND is, above all, a story of survival, for our times and for all time.
