What happened to the healthy, happy grandson she met when her daughter was still alive?\r\n\r\nMary arrives in the valley to help Nóra just as the whispers are spreading: stories of unexplained misfortunes, of illnesses, and rumours that Micheál is a changeling child who is bringing bad luck to the valley.\r\n\r\nNance has lived in the valley all of her life. She is a healer who knows how to use the plants and berries of the woodland; she understands the magic in the old ways. And she might be able to help Micheál . . .\r\n\r\nAs these three women are drawn together in the hope of restoring Micheál, their world of folklore and belief, of ritual and stories, tightens around them. It will lead them down a dangerous path, and force them to question everything they have ever known.\r\n\r\n'An imaginative tour de force . . . exquisite' - Daily Mail","brand":"Hannah Kent","offers":[{"title":"Pan Macmillan \/ 07 Sep 2017 \/ 425","offer_id":54093209698645,"sku":"9781447233367","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9781447233367.webp?v=1780942383","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/the-good-people","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
