My first tentpole book of the year—and it’s a knockout. Rich, sweeping historical fiction that hits every mark.

Land opens in Ireland in 1865, then sweeps forward between the alternating perspectives of a splintered family, capturing their hardships and heartbreaks over the course of their lives.

A masterwork of design and scope; a real triumph of craft. And O’Farrell makes it seem so effortless.
