Book review: Burial Rites by Hannah Kent
Rating: 5 out of 5
Beautifully written. A great recommendation from Alex. Enjoyed it. Keep thinking about it. A tale well told.
Highlighted passages:
a thread, once woven, is fixed in place; the only way to smooth a mistake is to let it all unravel.
‘To know what a person has done, and to know who a person is, are very different things.’
Memories shift like loose snow in a wind, or are a chorale of ghosts all talking over one another.
they see I’ve got a head on my shoulders, and believe a thinking woman cannot be trusted.
Man has created God out of fear of dying.’
