Krátky popis
Shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize 2017 County Kerry, Ireland,
1825. NORA, bereft after the sudden death of her beloved husband,
finds herself alone and caring for her young grandson Micheal.
Micheal cannot speak and cannot walk and Nora is desperate to know
what is wrong with him. What happened to the healthy, happy
grandson she met when her daughter was still alive? MARY arrives in
the valley to help Nora just as the whispers are spreading: the
stories of unexplained misfortunes, of illnesses, and the rumours
that Micheal is a changeling child who is bringing bad luck to the
valley. NANCE's knowledge keeps her apart. To the new priest, she
is a threat, but to the valley people she is a wanderer, a healer.
Nance knows how to use the plants and berries of the woodland, she
understands the magic in the old ways. And she might be able to
help Micheal. As these three women are drawn together in the hope
of restoring Micheal, their world of folklore and belief, of ritual
and stories, tightens around them. It will lead them down a
dangerous path, and force them to question everything they have
ever known. Based on true events and set in a lost world bound by
its own laws, The Good People is Hannah Kent's startling new novel
about absolute belief and devoted love. Terrifying, thrilling and
moving in equal measure, this long-awaited follow-up to Burial
Rites shows an author at the height of her powers.
