The Bone People by Keri Hulme

2.0

Well.... I truly do not know how this book has such a high rating - it is beautifully written and has really beautiful parts at moments but the domestic violence is really a huge minus for me. I do not even know how to put it into words. I really put me off reading it and finishing it. Like using that as a plot device... The words of my professor comes into my mind "it is just a book and they are just book characters" but I truly visualize so much and everything resonates with me too much.

I would have given it two stars just because of the 'unnecessary' violence but the book is really amazing and intricate and it just whisks you away into this different realm.
