In reply to Catherine. I loved This Must Be the Place by O'Farrell.

In reply to Catherine. "This Must Be the Place" is wonderful and also "This Must Be the Place." I loved both of these.

In reply to Susan. Yes! It's the 1500s- not much going on, but she makes that world so vivid.

In reply to Laila. I imagine that would be difficult. Maybe TBR for another few years.

In reply to Linda S..

Thank you and that’s exactly what I loved about the novel- Shakespeare was never named. I thought it was stunning.

What other O’Farrell novels would you recommend?

Yes I liked this one as well. The author really puts you right there … and I imagined their family & the times all so well. It’s captivating.

Lovely review! I’ve heard nothing but praise for this novel but I know that I couldn’t take it, as a mother to a ten year old boy.
