    A New York Times Book Review Editors' ChoiceWinner of the Desmond Elliott PrizeJudith and her father don't have much-their house is full of dusty relics, reminders of the mother she's never known. But Judith sees the world with the clear Eyes of Faith, and where others might see rubbish, Judith sees possibility. Bullied at school, she finds solace in making a model of the Promised Land-little people made from pipe cleaners, a sliver of moon, luminous stars, and a mirror sea-a world of wonder that Judith calls the Land of Decoration. Perhaps, she thinks, if she makes it snow indoors (using shaving cream and cotton balls and Scotch tape) there will be no school on Monday. Sure enough, when Judith opens her curtains the next day, the world beyond her window has turned white. She has performed her first miracle. And that's when her troubles begin.With its intensely taut storytelling and gorgeous prose, The Land of Decoration is a breathtaking story of good and evil, belief and doubt. Grace McCleen is a blazing new talent in contemporary literature.

    Elizabeth Stone, a respected academic, has a new lease on life. In remission from cancer, she returns to the city where she was a student over thirty years ago to investigate some little-known papers by T. S. Eliot, which she believes contain the seeds of her masterpiece; a masterpiece that centres on a poem given to her when she was eighteen by the elusive Professor Hunt...But as the days pass in the city she loves and her friendship with Professor Hunt is rekindled, her memories return her to a time shadowed by loneliness, longing and quiet despair, and to an undeclared but overwhelming love. Paralysed by the fear of writing something worthless, haunted by a sense of waste, Elizabeth Stone comes to realise she is facing the biggest test of her life.As in her acclaimed debut The Land of Decoration, Grace McCleen gives an intense evocation of place, an unflinching portrayal of a character by turns comic, absurd, and disturbing, and a powerful sense of the transcendent within the ordinary. Profound and hypnotic, The Professor of Poetry devastates even as it exhilarates and echoes long after it has been closed.

    Det herlige Land er en gribende fortælling om en lille piges livtag med troen og tvivlen, med ensomhed og savn.Judith McPherson er ti år gammel og bor alene med sin far i et hus fyldt med støvede, gamle ting og arvestykker fra den mor, hun aldrig har kendt. Judith ser på verden gennem den tro, hun er vokset op med, og hvor andre ser skrald, ser hun muligheder.Som en flugt fra drillerierne i skolen bygger hun en model af det forjættede land, som hun kalder Det herlige Land. Måske, tænker hun, kunne hun lave sne af barberskum, bomuldsstof og lim? Måske ville skolen så være lukket på mandag?Da Judith vågner næste dag, er verden udenfor hendes vindue helt hvid. Hun har udført sit første mirakel. Og det bliver starten på alle hendes problemer …Grace McCleen er født i 1981 i Wales, England. Hun har læst ved universiteterne i Oxford og York, inden hun blev forfatter og musiker på fuld tid. Det herlige Land er hendes første roman, og den blev tildelt debutantprisen the Desmond Elliott Prize i 2012.
