From the bestselling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait comes a sweeping historical novel set in Ireland in the years following the Great Hunger.
In 1865, Tomás and his ten-year-old son Liam are working on the Ordnance Survey's ambitious project to map the whole of Ireland. In a country still marked by loss and displacement, Tomás is determined that his maps will preserve the memory of what has been erased. But when a strange encounter in a woodland copse sends him unexpectedly off course, the lives of both father and son are changed forever.
As Liam struggles to understand his father's sudden transformation and find a way to complete their work, they are drawn into a story that stretches across generations and landscapes. Filled with buried histories, lingering ghosts, family secrets, and the enduring marks left by colonization and famine, Land explores the connections between people and place, and the ways the past continues to shape the present.
