Land

Land is a sweeping historical novel set in Ireland in 1865, shortly after the devastation of the Great Famine. The story follows Tomás and his ten-year-old son Liam, who are working on the Ordnance Survey, the ambitious project to map the entire country. Tomás hopes that his maps will preserve the memory of the famine and the lives that were lost. When a mysterious encounter in an ancient woodland unexpectedly changes Tomás, his family is thrown into uncertainty. As father and son struggle to complete their work and find their way home, they are forced to confront grief, hidden family secrets, and the lingering scars left by Ireland's troubled past. Blending history, folklore, and emotional family drama, the novel explores themes of loss, survival, memory, love, belonging, and the enduring connection between people and the land. Richly atmospheric and beautifully written, Land is both an intimate family story and an epic portrait of a nation recovering from tragedy
