The audiobook was un-put-down-able enough that I cleaned my whole house while listening. ADHD, baby!
A headstrong, independent woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty? What’s not to love about Abitha? I particularly enjoyed her vexing the witless brother-in-law at every turn, especially from his POV.
It really was Abitha vs. Almost Everyone, but the tension between characters built up perfectly and the ending was incredibly satisfying. I appreciated the ability to savor the final act rather than enduring a sloppy rush job!!
I found this quote to be interesting and timely with the political climate we find ourselves in again: “At least cruelty was a thing that could be pointed out, confronted. But this belief, this absolute conviction that this evil they were doing was good, was God’s work. How? How, she wondered, could such a conviction be overcome?”
