Review of 'In this house of Brede' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This book is beautiful. The characterization is fantastic. The style, which jumps around a bit in a kind of free association, took me a while to get used to, but I ended up really loving it. It felt like being privy to friends reminiscing, very intimate. Reading it felt like a temporary retreat into monastic life.
