A review by mcdavidson
The Last Sane Woman by Hannah Regel

3.0

Honestly, I think it’s a me problem!! I  thought I was going to absolutely love this but I don’t think I was in the right mood to read this. It’s quite slow and very character-focused, which typically I’m all for, but this one just fell flat. It would also get a bit muddled and confusing with the lack of quotation marks and frequent narrative/timeline shifts in the middle of the chapters. There was some really nice, sublime writing but it also edged on being too poetic. 

I think this will be a big hit for a more niche group, and possibly if I re-visited at a different time, but it wasn’t quite for me. 

Thank you to NegGalley and Verso Fiction for the ARC.
