bookedbymadeline's review against another edition
Had a hard time getting into it/staying focused on audiobook. Long chapters made it hard to pick up.
Interesting, unique story about a community of Prussian Lutherans escaping to Southern Australia to practice their faith.
Sadly not for me, it’s very slow and boring with the story just kinda dragging. After 160 pages I still don’t feel that interested or compelled to pick it up. And I also could not tell you much of what’s happened so far 🫣 It’s not interesting enough for me to keep reading especially with how long it feels like I’ve been reading it already 😅
This is the second book I’ve tried reading from Kent so she’s just not an author for me it seems-but I have no doubt others will enjoy this character driven, historical, queer love story
