Book Write Up: The Violent Bear It Away

The Violent Bear It Away by Flannery O'Connor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Violent Bear It Away is so full of Catholic imagery and themes, that despite being a very well written novel, I'm not sure I got as much out of it as I could have. O'Connor is a master at description and imagery and writes characters at the extremes of belief. I enjoyed it on the whole and am glad I read it, but also a pretty big CW for racist language.
