In realistic fiction, we don’t actually imagine the woman slithering on her belly, but Hannah’s quick description immediately describes the kind of character we’re facing. I love those descriptive lines.
“The woman moved like a viper in the reeds.”
Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale
It’s early in the year, but I think The Nightingale will be one of my favorite 2024 reads. Kristin Hannah places some beautiful and descriptive lines within a poignant plot fleshed out with engaging characters. If you’ve not read any Hannah, I’d recommend her work (especially The Nightingale)! Check her out in GoodReads!
