In rural Ireland, 1825, three women gather to save a child. It all begins with rumours : stories of unexplained misfortunes. Nóra, mourning the deaths of her husband and daughter, knows the whispers are about her grandson. Four-year-old Micheál can no longer speak or walk, and people are saying that he is a changeling, bringing bad luck to the valley. In desperation Nóra begs the help of two others, Mary and Nance. Together, the women will do anything to cure the little boy, but as their world of folklore and ritual tightens around them, it threatens to blur the line between mercy and murder...

I was completely carried away by the beauty of Hannah Kent's second novel. Based like "Burial Rites" on true events, we are now in rural Ireland before the Famine where people's lives and their beliefs seem so very far removed from what we know today. The beginning of the novel and the stage is set. A ploughman, "eyes red-rimmed in their sockets" and a blacksmith, "his forearms star-speckled from ironwork" carry the body of Martin Leahy back to his wife Nora. He has just collapsed at a crossroads "hand on his chest like a man taking an oath". What happens next concerns their four-year-old grandson who suffers from some sort of neurological disease, cannot speak or walk and whose body is covered with bed sores. Nora comes to believe that the unfortunate child is not their own but a changeling left by the fairies or Good People when they "swept away" the real child. She is spurred along in her beliefs by Nance Roche who cures with plants and has the "knowledge". Young Mary Clifford, (for me the most moving character in the novel) is hired at a fair to look after the stricken child. This is a harsh tale, certainly not an easy read but what a rewarding one !Hannah Kent's use of language is absolutely masterful. What poetry in its descriptions ! Nance in a forest setting: ""the morning rain left the moss vivid underfoot, and the leaves cast their dappled shadow on the clay and stone and leaf. Birds rustled the berried briar. The sight of the forest floor carpeted with the beetled backs of acorns had rushed her with happiness." As for the Romantic Poets, pleasure and the other side of the same coin, terror. "She choked with fear till piss ran down her leg."Her analysis of the psychology of her characters is both subtle and deep. When Mary Clifford thinks "There was no telling the shape of a heart from the face of the one who carried it" we think Shakespeare, Macbeth Act I scene 4 "There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face."
