Bury the Living by Jodi McIsaac
1.0
I received ARC from netgalley.com
The book turned out to be about Irish 'factual' history with liberal doses of fairy tale fantasy lore. The first 25% of the book covered in-depth Irish politics and its history. We learn some tragic background and childhood memories of Nora. Then she time travels back 80 yrs, thanks to the help of St. Bridgit.
Ya know, I was ok with reading the dry and dusty politics of the day, and I can accept the time travel theory by touching the finger bone of a dead saint. But when ancient fairy tale characters came to life, that's when I truly lost interest. The story just didn't hit with me. Some coarse language.
