‘This Must Be the Place’ by Maggie O'Farrell
29 July 2021
I really enjoyed reading Maggie O'Farrell’s 2016 novel ‘This Must Be the Place’ - a exquisitely plotted jigsaw puzzle narrative which flits backwards and forwards in time to piece together the story of a reclusive former film star hiding from the world in Donegal, her American second husband and their families. Each chapter pulls the rug from under the reader as we shift to a different perspective and question what we had previously assumed but the gradual filling-in of the narrative is very satisfying and Maggie O’Farrell builds an extended cast of sympathetic characters.
