The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth

4.0

I took almost a year to read this. I would read 30 pages, then put it down. Then start from the beginning, read the same 30 pages, and put it down. It took me laying down everything else and dedicating myself to focusing on this book to finally finish it, and it was definitely worth it. I got into a trance while I was reading it, and despite the fact that the main character is a delusional psychopath, it was incredibly intriguing. Not quite what I signed up for, but still highly recommend for anyone who enjoys historical fiction. I will definitely be reading more Kingsnorth.
