Seeking Revenge

The Nightingale- is a excellent psychological revenge thriller. the intentisity is off the roofs. It is so suspenseful, thrilling and dramatic. Not sure why more people havent heard about this film. Cause its excellent. Plus the burtality and violence is also really good.

The plot: Clare, a young Irish convict, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness and is bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence the man committed against her family. On the way, she enlists the services of Aboriginal tracker Billy, who is marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.

If you havent seen this movie, i highly recordmend watching it.

Less of a thriller to me, more of a family drama and a very well written one.

Focusing on the lives of 3 brothers we jump from one to the other backward and forwards in time in what could easily be a jarring experience but instead, Nugent cleverly keeps things clear and interesting. We know one brother is dead by the end but the whole family's story and circumstances are a really dysfunctional ride.

Hard to like any of the brothers but impossible not to want to know what they end up getting themselves into with their complex family dynamics. Would recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC, review is my own opinion
