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, set in nineteenth-century Ireland and based on newspaper reports and a court case from the time. Terrifying, thrilling and moving in equal measure, this long-awaited follow-up to Burial Rites shows an author at the height of her powers.
