About this listen
An addictive and unforgettable novel of a marriage in freefall, shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award 2016.
A Richard and Judy Pick 2017.
A top 10 best seller, This Must Be the Place by Maggie O'Farrell crosses time zones and continents to reveal an extraordinary portrait of a marriage.
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?

Overall enjoyable
A slow burn of a book. Took a while to get to know all the characters but once it all started to bind together it made for a very enjoyable book.

A beautiful mess
Lives lived with mistakes, the capacity for realness and growth, and much love. O’Farrell has a grip on characters.

Stunning book, great narration
I loved this book. The voice performances are out of this world. The story is sweet and romantic. Great read. I kept wanting to go back for more and was sad when it finished!

Lost me at ch21
At ch21 the marriage of Claudette and Daniel ends but the plot doesn't give substantial reasons.

Well crafted switch timing to create interest
Loved the movement and the story, how it moved through the characters and their life cycles. You have to stay focused- no nodding off while listening
