Following up her highly awarded novel Burial Rites, Australian author Hannah Kent returns with The Good People. This time, she takes us to Ireland in the age where paganism is battling Christianity and superstition rules over the lives of a small village and a changeling boy. Thoroughly engrossing, darkly atmospheric and utterly convincing, this supernatural story is another tour de force. In this podcast, recorded at the 2017 Sydney Writers' Festival, Hannah talks to Ashley Hay about the art of bringing place and time to life.
