While reading this I thought, hey Hannah Kent and Geraldine Brooks would make really good friends, having recently read Year of Wonders. Then I looked at the cover and saw that Brooks had blurbed it with praise. And then in the back of the book Kent thanks Brooks for her mentorship and advice. So a little too similar to Brooks's writing style, but still a decent read on its own. I will be interested to read what she comes up with next.
