A review by clare_tan_wenhui
The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne by Brian Moore
5.0
The discovery of this read was unexpected. I went in already knowing about the theme of female singlehood, but the real surprise was the unflinchingly brutal depiction of the Catholic faith, which is comparable to [a:Shūsaku Endō|14164|Shūsaku Endō|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1242087808p2/14164.jpg]'s epic [b:Silence|25200|Silence|Shūsaku Endō|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1503294393l/25200._SY75_.jpg|1796157].
I devoured the entire book within 3 sittings, in less than a day, unable to put it down. It was a warped experience, like having traveled through time, revisiting my former self many years ago, vulnerable in managing with my singlehood while keeping to the faith.
I'm now not exactly in a good state of mind with regard to my faith again, and am really thankful this book came along.
