Maggie O’Farrell is a British novelist known for psychologically rich fiction that blends family history, memory, and survival. Over more than two decades, she has built a reputation for elegant prose, inventive structure, and emotionally precise storytelling, earning major literary awards and a wide international readership.
If the name seems familiar, it’s likely because of her 2020 book “Hamnet,” which was adapted into the 2025 film that just won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture—Drama. Her soon-to-be-released novel, “Land,” continues the theme of family and survival in an Irish setting.
