Maggie O'Farrell Land

In a special Festival one-off event, we welcome our Patron - the bestselling author of the global phenomenon Hamnet as she introduces her latest book: a richly evocative novel of upheaval and loss set in mid-nineteenth century Ireland around the great Ordnance Survey project to map the whole country. Centred around one family, Land is a deeply moving novel about separation and reunion, tragedy and recovery, colonisation and rebellion and written in O’Farrell’s inimitable style.
