This Must Be the Place by Maggie O'Farrell

3.0

I usually adore Maggie O’Farrell but was a bit disappointed with This Must be the Place. I found the characters difficult to engage with, and felt there was not enough focus on/description of the major events of the novel.

The best part of this book is the placemaking of different locations (New York, rural Ireland, London, and the Scottish Borders) - these backdrops are almost characters in their own right and beautifully presented to the reader.
