Tell me you're a Canadian book without telling me you're a Canadian book. :)

Joe Biden's claim that Hamas’s October 7 attacks were “driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people" is ahistorical and dangerous. In fact, Jewish history shows that antisemitism is a Western problem.

Couple of bookclub gatherings ago, we read Devotion by Hannah Kent. Amazing experience.

https://bookwyrm.social/book/435971/review#reviews

Everything in this story is leading somewhere amazing. It's emotional, beautiful, touching, surprising and so incredibly moving. Sniffed, snuffled and out and out cried my way through the last part of this book.

Image of the book cover for Devotion by Hannah Kent with the covering comment "From the bestselling author of Burial Rites". Includes the quotes 'Utterly Original' Heather Rose and 'So beautiful and so raw' Evie Wyld. The image is pale grey, textured with the hint of foliage across it, there's a white spray of leaves that stands out a little in the centre of the novel, weaving its way around the letters in the book title, and the name of the author. The title is in Gold, and the author's name in large Greenish / Grey letters.

    @kcfromaustcrime @bookstodon Finally got hold of this beautifully written multi-levelled love story. Like her other two brilliant novels of , she shows she has done the research and thinking and internalized the stories and feelings of the time and place as well as the relentless control and persecution of the feminine and the 'other'. This 3rd novel is personal for Kent. Highly recommend it.
