Fans of Maggie O’Farrell have received the good news that at the beginning of the year –specifically, the first day of February– we will have a new novel by the Irish author: The Marriage Portrait. It has been translated into Catalan by Marc Rubió and will be published by L’Altra Editorial. It is a story set at the end of the 19th century, in an Irish corner far from everything, and inspired by the adventure experienced by the author’s great-grandfather, who worked mapping the island for the British army. Editors and critics speak of an overwhelming and moving narrative, and many claim that it is her best work.
