Magical Realism

Land: A Novel

by Maggie O'Farrell

Father and son map the famine-emptied landscape of 1865 Ireland for the Ordnance Survey, their relationship as fractured as the country they measure. Farrell's novel is a spare, precise reckoning with loss, silence, and the distance between two men who share blood but little else.
