This Must Be the Place by Maggie O’Farrell is a novel set in the remote countryside of Ireland, in London and NYC. This is one of the few books I’ve read that skips around in time, is narrated by several different people, yet was very easy to follow. O’Farrell has crafted a wonderful story of a man in love with a reclusive ex-movie star, who has children in two different parts of the world and is thrown into chaos when a piece of his past comes back to haunt him.

Beautifully told, through all the characters voices. I loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down. O’Farrell captures the depth of her characters, their strengths and flaws and all the things that make them human. A great read.
