Nora is an unflinching frontierswoman awaiting the return of the men in her life, biding her time with her youngest son - who is convinced that a mysterious beast is stalking the land around their home - and her husband''s seventeen-year-old cousin, who communes with spirits.

Lurie is a former outlaw and a man haunted by ghosts. He sees lost souls who want something from him, and he finds reprieve from their longing in an unexpected relationship that inspires a momentous expedition across the West.

Mythical, lyrical, and sweeping in scope, Inland is grounded in true but little-known history. It showcases all of T©a Obreht''s talents as a writer, as she subverts and reimagines the myths of the American West, making them entirely - and unforgettably - her own.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Guardian, Time, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Good Housekeeping, The New York Public Library

''Should have been on the Booker longlist'' Claire Lowdon, Sunday Times

''Magnificent... Brings to mind Gabriel Garc­a M¡rquez''s One Hundred Years of Solitude or Toni Morrison''s Beloved'' Times Literary Supplement

''Exquisite ... The historical detail is immaculate, the landscape exquisitely drawn; the prose is hard, muscular, more convincingly Cormac McCarthy than McCarthy himself'' Alex Preston, Observer

Industry Reviews
This free-ranging tale of an American frontierswoman should have been on the Booker longlist... I'm already looking forward to whatever Obreht writes next. - Sunday Times

Magnificent . . . brings to mind Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude or Toni Morrison's Beloved. - Times Literary Supplement

Exquisite ... The historical detail is immaculate, the landscape exquisitely drawn; the prose is hard, muscular, more convincingly Cormac McCarthy than McCarthy himself ... [The] paranormal element reminds us strongly of George Saunders's Lincoln in the Bardo ... Inland also feels of a piece with another recent novel, Sarah Perry's Melmoth - The Observer
