The Good People might have in part fallen to the slumpy summer books. I was still hurting from too many DNF books and was wanting a can’t-put-down one.

I just got invested in the social aspects of the Church’s control vs the native folklore- and how even the people themselves (men) used it to their advantage.

You should definitely try her debut. I liked Good People but loved Burial Rites. I find her prose almost hypnotic.

I love that you mentioned The Wonder! I almost did the same thing because I found both books so similar in their rendering of 1800s Ireland as incredibly backwards. For whatever reason, I liked that book much less.

I agree that when a medical issue is described in historical fiction I want to know more about what was really going on.
