The Good People by Hannah Kent
4.0
August 29, 2017:
Just heard about this book on the Reading Women podcast, Episode 28.5.
Continuing my TBR project:
This is one the oldest selection on my TBR list - Originally added August 29, 2017.
It’s the early 1800s in Ireland. The Widow Leahy is raising her grandson. The child is four years old and cannot speak and cannot walk. The people in the village believe him to be a “changeling“. They believe that the fairies have switched the child for one of their own. I just love Irish folklore and this is one of the best that I’ve read. My only question is why I waited so long to read it since I first heard about it in 2017. This is only the second book I’ve read by Hannah Kent. I loved them both and I can’t wait until she comes out with another.
