From the author of Burial Rites, a literary novel with the pace and tension of a thriller that takes us on a frightening journey towards an unspeakable tragedy.-Paula Hawkins, bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

Based on true events in nineteenth century Ireland, Hannah Kent's startling new novel tells the story of three women, drawn together to rescue a child from a superstitious community.
Nora, bereft after the death of her husband, finds herself alone and caring for her grandson Micheal, who can neither speak nor walk. A handmaid, Mary, arrives to help Nora just as rumors begin to spread that Micheal is a changeling child who is bringing bad luck to the valley. Determined to banish evil, Nora and Mary enlist the help of Nance, an elderly wanderer who understands the magic of the old ways.
Set in a lost world bound by its own laws, THE GOD PEOPLE is Hannah Kent's startling new novel about absolute belief and devoted love. Terrifying, thrilling and moving in equal measure, this follow-up to Burial Rites shows an author at the height of her powers.

Hannah Kent was born in Adelaide in 1985 and now lives in Melbourne. Burial Rites, her debut novel, was nominated for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction (previously the Orange Prize), the Guardian First Book Award, and the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and was translated into nearly thirty languages. She's also the founding and publishing director of a literary publication in Australia.
