Publisher Description

A top-ten bestseller 2016, THIS MUST BE THE PLACE by Maggie O'Farrell crosses time zones and continents to reveal an extraordinary portrait of a marriage. 'A complex, riveting novel of love and hope that grips at the heart' The Sunday Times

A reclusive ex-film star living in the wilds of Ireland, Claudette Wells is a woman whose first instinct, when a stranger approaches her home, is to reach for her shotgun. Why is she so fiercely protective of her family, and what made her walk out of her cinematic career when she had the whole world at her feet?

Her husband Daniel, reeling from a discovery about a woman he last saw twenty years ago, is about to make an exit of his own. It is a journey that will send him off-course, far away from the life he and Claudette have made together. Will their love for one another be enough to bring Daniel back home?

Heartwarming

Slow burner nut does get better.

Exquisite writing, beautifully crafted story

This book captured my heart, and I raced to pick it up each evening. The story itself is so strong, all the characters so real and alive, and above all the writing
, the words O’Farrell uses are just so imaginative and captivating. I loved it and hope you do too.

Good story, elaborately written

I enjoyed reading this book and it held my attention, the characterisation was interesting, though in some cases I thought a bit unrealistic. I admit to skipping through some of the lengthy descriptive passages, well written but not necessary in this novel. Maybe I was impatient to get on with the story which was fairly complex. All in all a good read.
