Description
In the years after the Great Hunger, a windswept peninsula on Ireland’s Atlantic edge becomes the stage for a family’s fragile attempt to rebuild their lives. As Tomás works for the Ordnance Survey—mapping the country in 1865—his reluctant son, Liam, is pulled into a world where land is measured, named, and claimed, even as old wounds and new tensions simmer beneath the surface. Told with Maggie O’Farrell’s lyrical, haunting intensity, the novel follows separation and reunion, tracing how tragedy can fracture a household while also planting the seeds of recovery. Against the backdrop of colonization and rebellion, *Land* explores survival, memory, and the power of place to hold what people try to forget.
