Set in 1820s rural Ireland, The Good People is a haunting, lyrical tale of folklore, superstition, and community. When Nóra Leahy’s grandson is struck by a mysterious affliction, she seeks help from Mary, a young servant, and Nance, a local healer believed to have knowledge of the “Good People” — the fairies. What follows is a deeply atmospheric exploration of grief, belief, and the clash between tradition and reason in a world where the boundary between the natural and supernatural is dangerously thin.
Hannah Kent writes with the same lyrical precision and emotional intensity that made Burial Rites a global phenomenon. Perfect for fans of Burial Rites by Hannah Kent, The Witch Elm by Tana French, and The Familiars by Stacey Halls. Ideal for readers of historical fiction, folklore-infused narratives, and literary suspense.
