A review by savoringstories
Hieroglyphics by Jill McCorkle

4.0

I found Hieroglyphics by Jill McCorkle to be so evocative that I had to step away several times while reading to grapple with various phrases or passages that really hit me.⁠

This novel is a character-driven, slow burn with a non-linear structure. What I loved most was making sense of who each character was as they attempted to make sense themselves.⁠

If you have read and loved fellow 2020 release, Writers and Lovers by Lily King, then you need to run and pick up this novel. Both novels explore life, mortality, and grief in such profound ways. Both will leave you in a quiet awe.⁠

Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy.⁠
