Land by Maggie O’Farrell review – an ambitious story of mapmaking in Ireland

Set in the aftermath of the famine, the Hamnet author’s family saga folds in myth and folklore

The Guardian
You ever have a book on your TBR for so long that by the time you get to it, you don't really remember what it's about or why you wanted to read it?

Haha, yeah... me neither...

Anyway, completely unrelated to that: I put off reading this for the longest time because I thought it was one of those 'following a couple throughout their life together' stories, and I grabbed it from the shelves* just now on impulse, only to realize that's not what it's about at all! So, my next read it is.

*in my house, not the store

Lads. I went to see Hamnet at the weekend, and I am NOT WELL after it. Everyone in the cinema was BAWLING.

Great film, but sweet jesus, I'm sorry I watched while doing dry January.
