Irish writer Maggie O'Farrell writes a love letter to her home and its language

Irish writer Maggie O'Farrell writes a love letter to her home and its language

By: Laurie Hertzel

” opens on a peninsula in the far west of Ireland, where a small boy stands in the rain, wishing he could go home and get something to eat. It is not surprising that hunger would be a theme of Maggie O'Farrell's gorgeous and sweeping tenth novel, taking place, as it does, in the decade after the Great Famine. Hunger, colonialism, displacement and, above all, the land itself pulse through this stunning work.
