A startlingly original, intricate adventure in history, imagination and the human psyche, May We Feed the King finds the curator of a royal medieval palace drawn deeper and deeper into the life of its one-time occupants – a reluctant ruler and his courtiers scheming to replace him.

🌿 Land by Maggie O'Farrell 🌿

A fantastic new release from the phenomenal author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait.

Inspired by the mapping of Ireland in the mid nineteenth century, Land, is at once intimate and epic: a portrait of a family navigating a legacy of upheaval and loss with love and hope.

An absolutely stunning read.
