DEVOTION: Hannah Kent
DEVOTION
by Hannah Kent
Within the first few pages of Devotion you will sink deep into that delicious anticipatory feeling of starting a book written by a gifted wordsmith. Meticulously researched, Hannah Kent’s latest offering is centred around the relationship of Hanne and Thea as their Lutheran families migrate to 19th century South Australia. Unable to express her romantic love for Thea, Hanne dedicates herself to devotion instead. Compelling, sensuous and ultimately uplifting, this is an immersive read.
