acrisplasagna's review against another edition
4.0
Hannah Kent’s writing reminds me so much of Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You The Sun. This just felt like a more adult and crying and historical version of that. I was shocked with the way the story went, but fully invested throughout. Queer novel perfect for crying:)
