bailedThis is everything I hate in historical fiction. It started so strong, but quickly deteriorated. Did Horsley do any research for this book? It takes 3 minutes to find the real definition of Anam Cara, but she made it into a “confessor or authority on cleansing the soul.” Nope. Try again. She clearly has no idea what Christianity looked like in this period in Ireland.

GingerAntics Why did she even bother to write about it if she wasn‘t going to do her homework? Ugh. #KateHorsley #ConfessionsOfAPaganNun #Ireland #HistoricalFiction 5y

julesG I'm glad I read this book aaaaages ago. I liked it back then. I've become more cynical since then, too. 5y
GingerAntics @julesG I probably would have liked it when I was younger, too. I didn‘t like how she wrote stuff off as “well I‘m just a stupid woman” or “oh I‘m just a sinful woman.” 🙄 It was so cliche in parts and then just dead wrong in other parts. 5y
