Longlisted Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction 2017

'The Good People takes us straight to a place utterly unexpected and believable, where amidst the earnest mayhem people impose on each other, there is no patronising quaintness, but a compelling sense of the inevitability of solemn horrors.'
Thomas Keneally, winner of the Booker Prize

The long awaited new book from award-winning Australian novelist Hannah Kent.

In 1825, in a remote valley in Ireland, three women are brought together by troubling events. Nóra cares for her orphaned four-year-old grandson, who can neither walk nor speak. She hires a servant girl, Mary, to help her. Soon, Mary hears rumours in the valley about the dark powers of this strange little boy. In desperation, Nóra and Mary turn to Nance Roche, a woman who locals say has the knowledge. That she consorts with the Good People, and only Nance can return those whom they have taken ...

'Hannah Kent’s prose is extraordinarily terse and precise.'
The Independent

'Kent offers a wealth of engaging detail ... always a sign that an author has a deep and sympathetic knowledge of her subject.'
New York Times
