I just finished this an hour ago and saved your video specifically for this time. It was completely gripping, I was utterly thrilled reading this story. My potential favorite of the year so far. I own Long Bright River and need to read it, but will certainly purchase her backlist now as well! ❤Great book chat and I’m happy this was a win for you 😊
It's on my tbr and I can't wait to read it! I loved two of her previous books and this is the first of hers to be translated into Dutch. I'm very excited about it and even more so after your glowing review :)
caught up with loads of your videos this morning and the way my library holds list has just exploded, what a gem you are! can't wait to get round to this ♥
This was such a great review of a brilliant book. I just finished it yesterday and could re-read it immediately. I do love Liz Moore’s writing and I feel that this book in particular is perfect. 📚x
I just finished this book and echo a lot of your sentiments! Such a beautifully written and layered story. I only diverge in the area re: social commentary-I found it interesting that a lot of discussion on land and ownership almost completely omitted mention of any indigenous communities (there was one acknowledging sentence if i recall correctly). I just found that omission more of an interesting meta-narrative than anything!
I’m so excited I found ur channel! I came to RU-vid bc I couldn’t decide what book to listen to next & ….. now I know!! 😁 I read/listen to 1-2 books a week so I’ll be back for more suggestions 🩷
I read this based on your recommendation in your previous video on 10 literary thrillers - just finished and it was excellent. Thank you so much and happy reading! P.S. Oops forgot to say really nice discussion.
Brilliant review. You summarized it so well. I loved the layout of the timelines and wish more books did that. I can't stop thinking about the characters either. I need to pick something else up but I can't seem to move on from this story!
I just finished The God of the Woods this morning! It was a wild ride for sure. It is a chunker of a book, but I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I got through it in two days! I absolutely love this author and think she gets better with every book she writes, which is a very high bar to set. Have you read her earlier book "Heft"? It is the story of Arthur Ott who weighs 550 pounds and hasn't left his home in a decade. I read that book years ago and still think of it.
I previously read Kala after watching your video - and really loved it! And I'm currently reading Ohio, also after your video. I'm only about 30 pages in so far but I'm enjoying it. So if this book got its own stand-alone review, it'll have to go on my tbr)
there are many accents (including within the UK) that pronounce th as an f. As a reader, it's ignorant to assume someone's accent means anything about them other than their region of origin (if even that) 🤦
