Recensioner

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this book. Some of Rivers’ books have been top-notch, while I struggled with others. She’s a talented author; the way she describes her characters and setting and creates her plots are all intriguing and engrossing. When I picked this book up, I wondered how long it would take me to get through it—it’s a chunker, coming in right around 500 pages! In the end, it only took me four days to read it, even though it came at a fairly hectic time. This was a gripping story.

There was a lot to enjoy in this story. I was able to relate to both Marta and Hildemara, and loved following along their life journeys. This could easily have been a fairly boring read: “They did this, then they did that…” but it wasn’t, and I’m so glad! I felt like I was there with the characters, and that was great!

I did struggle with some elements of the story. I felt like intimacy in marriage was mentioned way more often than necessary, and while it was generally only vaguely referred to, it was still more than I’m comfortable with. I was also hoping this would have a stronger Christian theme than it had, in the end—neither character seemed to have a living relationship with Jesus, until maybe in the last few chapters.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It deals with some very difficult themes, but it’s a well-written, gripping novel, and I’m looking forward to reading the sequel eventually.

From the depths of the sea to the far reaches of space are countless blessings the Lord offers you. This weekly devotional invites you to seek our Creator through the marvellous natural world we live in. A beautiful book! With stunning photos, Scripture excerpts, prayers and reflections.

I enjoyed this! I did think it could have used more editing though. While I realize recovery from a life as traumatic as Angel's would take a long time to recover from, I think Rivers made her go back to the same thoughts again and again that she would not have in real life. The audiobook was 17 hours! (I cut it down to 9 by listening on 1.20 speed instead of 1.00)

I also really wanted more from Michael's perspective. It would be cool if there was a sequel or something that told Paul's story, or one that told Michael's entire story.

Summary: I liked this book, but it was longer than it needed to be.
