Description
The Good People by Hannah Kent is a gripping novel based on true events. In 1825, Nóra's life is turned upside down after her husband's sudden death, leaving her to care for her young grandson Micheál. As the whispers spread about unexplained misfortunes and illnesses in the valley, Mary arrives to help Nóra, only to find that Micheál is at the centre of a mysterious story. As these three women are drawn together, their world of folklore and belief becomes increasingly entwined with reality. Nance, a healer who understands the magic in old ways, may hold the key to restoring Micheál's health. But as they delve deeper into the mystery, they must confront the darkness that lies beneath the valley's seemingly idyllic surface. A starkly realised tale of love, grief and misconceived beliefs, The Good People is an imaginative tour de force that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
