The Good People by Hannah Kent

5.0

A wonderful and worthy follow up to 'Burial Rites'. Vividly written and underpinned by exceptional research, I found it both difficult to read and unable to put it down. A strange sense of foreboding lives in these pages - you can't help but be drawn into the magic of the Good People, only to be brought down to earth once the action moves to town. 4.5 stars for this one. It would have been 5 but there were occasional times when I felt it was going over the same ground again, but that is definitely not a deal breaker. A great read.
