This Must Be The Place by Maggie O'Farrell

Meet Daniel Sullivan, a man with a complicated life.

A New Yorker living in the wilds of Ireland, he has children he never sees in California, a father he loathes in Brooklyn and a wife, Claudette, who is a reclusive ex-film star given to shooting at anyone who ventures up their driveway.

He is also about to find out something about a woman he lost touch with twenty years ago, and this discovery will send him off-course, far away from wife and home. Will his love for Claudette be enough to bring him back?

This Must Be The Place crosses continents and time zones, giving voice to a diverse and complex cast of characters. At its heart, it is an extraordinary portrait of a marriage, the forces that hold it together and the pressures that drive it apart.

Maggie O'Farrell is the author of six previous novels; After You'd Gone, My Lover's Lover, The Distance Between Us, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, The Hand That First Held Mine and Instructions For A Heatwave.

She has been nominated for, and won, the Costa Book Award - as well as judging the first novel category for them in 2014.

Maggie lives in Edinburgh with her family.
