Book Club: The Layered, Living and Heartaching History of Land by Maggie O'Farrell

Prepare to be immersed in the times and lives of history in the most sweeping epic of Maggie O'Farrell's career yet.

In this episode, Luke breaks down the lyrical, poetry-like prose and perspective-shifting narrative while exploring the story's rich tapestry of 19th-century Irish history, complex family dynamics, and the resonances he himself found with the stories vivid characters.

How do the hardships of the past shape who we are? Can forcing ourselves to slow down help us truly step into another person's shoes? What does it mean to deeply belong to a place that outlasts all human attempts to own or alter it?
