Hannah’s description of dawn, often used to signify optimism or a bright new day, sets the scene well. The comparison of sunrise to meatless broth also reinforces howthe meals have been for these characters. Another great simile.
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!
