'Exquisite' - Daily Mail
Shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize
Based on true events, The Good People is Hannah Kent's engrossing novel about superstition and devoted love.
Ireland, 1825.
Nóra, bereft after the sudden death of her husband, finds herself alone and caring for her young grandson Micheál, who cannot speak or walk. What happened to the healthy, happy grandson she met when her daughter was still alive?
Mary arrives in the valley to help Nóra just as the whispers are spreading: stories of unexplained misfortunes, of illnesses, and rumours that Micheál is a changeling child who is bringing bad luck to the valley.
Nance has lived in the valley all of her life. She is a healer who knows how to use the plants and berries of the woodland; she understands the magic in the old ways. And she might be able to help Micheál . . .
As these three women are drawn together in the hope of restoring Micheál, their world of folklore and belief, of ritual and stories, tightens around them. It will lead them down a dangerous path, and force them to question everything they have ever known.
'An even better novel than Burial Rites - a starkly realised tale of love, grief and misconceived beliefs - Sunday Times
'An imaginative tour de force . . . exquisite' - Daily Mail
