Martin MacInnes's ambitious new novel, The Fields, is set to be released on July 13, 2027. Published under Sarah Jessica Parker's SJP Lit imprint, the book weaves a multi-generational narrative that begins with Jacob's childhood in Scotland. His story is intricately linked to a family gathered in 1955 to witness a historic comet. The novel then follows Jacob as an adult undertaking a perilous voyage on the North Sea in 1987, shortly after the birth of his first child.
Years later, in 2030, Jacob's narrative intersects with that of his daughter. She embarks on her own journey to the Arctic Circle, facing a world shaped by political and environmental shifts. Publisher Sarah Jessica Parker described the novel as "vast, dazzling and cinematic," praising its intricate plot and ability to provide awe-inspiring perspectives on life, history, and the natural world. MacInnes's previous work, 'In Ascension,' was a Booker Prize longlist nominee and recognized by Barack Obama.
