A beauuuutiful book. The characters and settings are so vivid and will stay with me. LOVED the way everything came together in the end in such a beautiful way.
Also was so cool to see western Sydney talk in a book!

Loved it. An excellent story that is told so well. Learnt a lot but it was easy to read.

As always with Hannah Kent, the writing is incredible. Beautiful poetry.
Loved the first half of the book. Second half went somewhere I wasn't expecting and isn't something I'd normally be interested in reading, but I stuck with it and I do think it paid off in the end. You can feel the love in this book.

PHENOMENAL.

The charm and uniqueness of the main character comes through so well in the first half. Felt the pace slow a bit towards the end but then the ending hit me suddenly...
A very enjoyable and moving book. Unique storytelling voice and sheds some insight into those living similar stories in the real world.

This is a very special book!

LOVED this book. The themes tickled all parts of my brain. The writing felt so easy and engaging, I was surprised to progress so quickly through it. Will be looking for the author's other works!!

An edit 6 months later - I'm still thinking about this book. It has stayed with me. It's really something special.

Loved the movie, have watched it quite a few times. Finally read the book and WOW. Couldn't put it down. Truly a thriller. All the charm and humour that I loved in the movie, was all there in the book. Loved every goddamn page.

This book was a really unique experience. At the start it feels quite light and then the author guides you through the more difficult moments with such care. You end with a real sense of strength and hope and love for the author's Country and family. I've never read anything quite like it. Truly beautiful.
