Maggie O'Farrell
A spellbinding story of separation, longing, recovery and survival as a family makes a new home in the aftermath of tragedy.
'Maggie O'Farrell is a miracle in every sense' Ann Patchett
'Maggie O'Farrell takes up a bow and arrow and aims right at the human heart' The Times
On a windswept peninsula stretching out into the Atlantic, Tomás and his reluctant son, Liam, are working for the great Ordnance Survey project to map the whole of Ireland. The year is 1865, and in a country not long since ravaged and emptied by the Great Hunger, the task is not an easy one. Tomás, however, is determined that his maps will be a record of the disaster.
The British soldiers in charge are due to arrive any day, expecting the work to be completed, but Tomás is sent off course by an unsettling encounter in a copse. His life, and those of his family, will never be the same again. Liam is terrified by the sudden change in his taciturn father. What was it that caused such cracks to open in Tomás and how is Liam, aged only ten, going to finish the mapping, and get them both home?
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.©2026 Maggie O'Farrell

Reseñas de la crítica
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)
A breathtaking hymn to the sanctity of natural spaces, operating on timescales both intimate and geological. I finished Land moved not only by the vivid lives of its human characters, but the thrumming, gorgeous presence of its mosses, waters, winds and skies (Daniel Mason)
Haunting and elemental in its evocation, Land is a novel of startling imagination and power. Upon finishing it, I did not feel so much that I had read a book as lived inside it (Ferdia Lennon)
Wondrous and magisterial (Kamila Shamsie)
A stunning achievement. Maggie O'Farrell's most ambitious novel yet, and maybe her most moving. I adored it. (Bobby Palmer)
Expansive and intimate, this beautiful book swallowed me whole. I loved it, and will miss its characters terribly (Charlotte McConaghy)
A work of towering imagination and empathy; a beautifully layered novel, told in lyrical, haunting prose which transforms familiar history into something new and startlingly relevant. To read this novel is to embark on an emotional journey, to lose yourself in the pages of a story that is at once devastating and irrepressibly life affirming. I loved it (Roisín O'Donnell)
As visceral as a novel can get (Yael van der Wouden)
Land is a vast, darkly magical novel from a masterful writer. Maggie O'Farrell's historical fiction illuminates not only the past, but our own moment in time. A brilliant and powerful novel (Alice Winn)
This deep, dense, heartrending novel is the best of Maggie O'Farrell, who is the best of writers, modern and alive, with the detailed brilliance of great nineteenth-century storytellers. All I need as a reader is in Land (Amy Bloom)
A stunning and gorgeous epic. . . . O'Farrell paints a devasting yet tender portrait of Irish history
Land is a hidden grove of a book. Since leaving its pages, the stories hiding in place-names and redacted maps have seemed palpable in my everyday life. I loved the characters, the slowing effect of O'Farrell's prose and her careful splicing of story into history (Amy Jeffs)
A visceral and magical story about separation, and our complex relationship with the world beyond words
Beautifully done, with descriptions that are both intricate and locked into character
Evocative and immersive . . . a haunting, beautifully written story of survival and memory
Sweeping and vast, Land is a captivating story of family and how the land we share carries our stories
Powerfully affecting . . . expert plotting and perspective
Her most far-reaching, ambitious novel to date . . . a story of grief, trauma, resilience and recovery. A story that has such heart . . . With Land, O'Farrell might snag a Booker nomination
