The Good People by Hannah Kent
Set in 19th-century rural Ireland, this gripping tale follows the lives of three women grappling with grief, superstition, and societal pressures. After the sudden death of her daughter, Nóra Leahy is left to care for her ailing grandson, Micheál, who is believed to be a changeling by the local community. Desperate to restore him to health, Nóra enlists the help of Nance Roche, a local healer with knowledge of the "Good People"—fairies believed to influence the mortal world. As the women navigate the fine line between folklore and reality, they confront the harsh consequences of their actions in a society where belief in the supernatural holds sway over reason.
