This Must Be The Place: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

Short-listed for the Costa Novel Award - A Richard and Judy Pick 2017

A reclusive ex-film star living in the wilds of Ireland, Claudette Wells is a woman whose first instinct, when a stranger approaches her home, is to reach for her shotgun. Why is she so fiercely protective of her family, and what made her walk out of her cinematic career when she had the whole world at her feet?

Her husband, Daniel, reeling from a discovery about a woman he last saw 20 years ago, is about to make an exit of his own. It is a journey that will send him off course, far away from the life he and Claudette have made together. Will their love for one another be enough to bring Daniel back home?

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

An accomplished novel

Commenté en France le 15 mars 2017

Achat vérifié

I'd been looking forward to O'Farrell's latest novel (I have read all her novels so far) for her beautiful style (with this time, some daring experimental writing) and talent at portraying relationships of all kinds. I would say this novel is standard O'Farrell (I keep hoping for another book as good as "The Vanishing of Esme Lennox" but it wasn't to be for this time....), complete with complex characters who do their best to cope with whatever life sends to them, and sad storylines (ah, these Irish writers!....). I also found this latest novel more accomplished than most of her previous ones.
However, although the complicated structure of the book is perfectly mastered by O'Farrell, to me it was all over the place, and I found the constant shifts of time and place less than satisfying. But perhaps this is an entirely personal feeling, maybe I just prefer plain chronological narration!
I liked the main character, Daniel, very much, but I thought Claudette was very hard on him....
So a good book, though not particulary gripping nor entirely satisfactory as far as I'm concerned. I still think O'Farrell is very talented but I am less a fan than I was, due to my tastes evolving...

OK, j'avoue que je suis un quasi-inconditionnel de Maggie O'Farrell; je dirais cependant qu'elle a peut-être un peu abusé des intrigues entremêlées et des retours en arrière qu'elle affectionne. Cela dit, vous aurez du plaisir à le lire et j'attends le prochain avec impatience.

Not only a real page-turner, but also very well written. Maggie O'Farrell will always suprise her readers. The only thing I would point out is the end which I didn't really get into.

The world seen through a kaleidoscope

Commenté en France le 30 septembre 2016

Achat vérifié

A simple story - two lovers slowly growing apart - is told here in a complex manner involving multiple characters who give us each a partial view of the drama. The author leaps effortless across multiple figures, continents and time frames, which requires from the reader some effort and a great adaptability.
You may question the credibility of the the starting point, the vanishing act of a former film star. Nevertheless I love this book because of his emotional insight, its subtle portrayal of human relationships, its ability to keep together the numerous strains of the storytelling and above all its superb command of the language." ...those doubled electric doors, curved in shape, which open and shut with an hesitant glide, creating a momentary parenthesis around those who pass them": this is the signature of a master.

Nothing more to say - this book arrived on time. I haven't read it yet but expect it to be very good because the author is excellent.

Je n'en ai lu que 50% mais j'aime beaucoup l'imbrication des histoires et les points de vue differents d'un chapitre à l'autre. Ce roman nous tient en haleine et j'ai hâte d'en connaitre le dénouement. J'aime ces portraits de personnages à des époques differentes et l'on sent que les fils se tissent dans cette intrigue qui nous fait voyager dans plusieurs pays. J'ai du mal à poser l'ouvrage....

Close but no cigar

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 26 novembre 2017

Achat vérifié

I bought this on the strength of the Amazon rating, which perhaps just goes to show the devil is in the detail. It's not a bad book but it reveals its mechanics - of plot and characterisation - rather than simply transporting you. At least for me that is because the characters are not believable or very likeable and the plot clangs along and changes gear suddenly. Overall, you're left wondering 'do I really care?' The problem seems to be the jumps in time and character between chapters, which makes it hard to engage with the story and characters.
This is a shame really as M O'F is a beautiful writer, evoking place and mood, but at least for this book it seems to be at the expense of story and character. This is the only book of hers that I've read and, from reviews, seasoned fans suggest it is out of character, so perhaps worth persevering.
The idea is interesting - tracing the arc of a marriage - but the execution and characterisation don't work for me. It might make a better film or mini series.

trying a bit too hard to be meaningful and failing

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 7 juin 2018

Achat vérifié

this book is a very mixed bag of the good snd some pretty poor sections

I like the way she writes and loved 'the vanishing act of Esme Lennox but found this much harder work. The story line is quite thin and cutting it up and imposing time changes and different narrative voices does not disguise this well enough. Neither Claudette or daniel are intrinsically likeable or, more fatally, believable, characters and I found it difficult to sustain a sufficient level of interest in either of them which means that the outcome of their marriage is a bit of a non-starter as a hook and two of the minor players had interesting tales to be told that were left hanging in the air. We did hear a bit about what happened to Claudette's first partner but there were still inanswered qustions and the middle-aged woman on the road trip with Daniel had a fascinating tale which ccould easily have been expanded upon
overall it just felt that she was trying too hard to make something meaningful and significant out of a very ordinary tale

Disjointed

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 29 août 2021

Achat vérifié

I liked a lot of things about this book but have rated it lower because of the way the story continually jumped about between characters and times. We were no sooner introduced to a character than the story changed to someone else at a different time. To add to the confusion, these jumps were not even in chronological order. By the time the story returned to previous characters I'd half forgotten what their story was, I found it really infuriating. I've read another book by this author that jumped around like this although not quite to the same degree. If this is her usual style I'm afraid it's putting me off reading more of her books which is a shame as I liked the story in itself.

An excellent read

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 21 novembre 2017

Achat vérifié

This Must Be the Place is the first book I read by Maggie O'Farrell, and I enjoyed it so much I've been systematically reading everything she's written ever since.

The writing style takes a little getting used to, as the narrative moves between characters and time periods quite frequently, and in some cases the style of writing changes altogether when this happens. It can be distressing for the reader; just when you get deeply drawn into one character's plight, you are suddenly transported to a completely (seemingly) unrelated person 10 year prior. This isn't a criticism though; each storyline is compelling in its own way, and while you may be briefly frustrated at wanting to know what happens next to character X, you'll quickly find yourself being equally invested in the life of character Y. This is a testament to how deep each of the main characters are, and their tales all ultimately tie together and contribute to the central theme of Daniel and Claudette's marriage.

Maggie O'Farrell's writing style is certainly one of the more unique that I have come across recently. She is very adept at capturing emotion which lets us emphasize with the characters, and giving depth to her whole cast so that even larger-than-life figures like Claudette are completely humanised and endearing, and peripheral characters like Ari have distinct personalities despite relatively little word-count focused on them. More notably though, while O'Farrell employs some 'twists' in the story, they are heavily forecast and sometimes bluntly stated long before they occur, so when they do happen we focus on the characters responding and dealing with them, rather than experiencing the shock impact ourselves. I've noticed this is employed in several of her books, and it's a very effective technique.

This is one of the few books in my adult life I've read more than once, and the story, writing, characters were all just as engaging and heart-wrenching on repeated readings. Cannot recommend enough.

Maggie O'Farrell writes beautifully. You cannot help be be swept along by her use of language and wonderful description. This Must Be The Place is the story of Daniel and Claudette's marriage and life before marriage, both flawed characters in their own ways. Daniel is an American linguist who meets Claudette, a reclusive film star in the depths of the Irish countryside. Between them they have five children and two failed marriages. The novel jumps through timelines from past to present, back again and to the time in between, yet it all flows coherently. There are multiple narrators throughout- none thoroughly trustworthy! We find out why Claudette withdrew from the world at the height of her fame, leading many to believe she had died, and why Daniel carries so much guilt around a girlfriend he had in his student days. As a reader you feel a true witness to what made these people what they are and the reasons behind their actions.
