So when her children conspire to unite the worlds she's kept so carefully apart, Greta fears she could lose it all . . . A profoundly moving, compassionate story of self-discovery, The Walking People is a powerful and compelling story about our connection to the past. 'A novel of great compassion and understanding . . . rich with story' JOHN BOYNE on Ask Again, Yes 'Keane's previous novel Ask Again, Yes, was on my best Books of 2019, and this is just as good. Its slow, melodic pace proves we don't always need fast action and twists' Prima, 'Best Books of March'
