Description
On Friday, June 26 at 7pm, the award-winning, bestselling author of Hamnet, Maggie O’Farrell, returns with LAND, in-conversation with Rebecca Lavoie, NHPR's Director of Podcasts & On Demand.
Set in Ireland in the years before and after the Great Hunger, LAND is a novel about 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.
Tickets: $48; includes a signed copy of the book (Land, $32, hardcover).
Please note: Due to an injury, Maggie will stamp books with her signature.
Maggie O’Farrell was born in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1972. Her novels include Hamnet (winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Women’s Prize for Fiction), The Marriage Portrait, After You’d Gone, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, The Hand That First Held Mine (winner of the Costa Novel Award), and Instructions for a Heatwave. She has also written a memoir, I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death. She lives in Edinburgh.
