Book Wrap Up November
1. The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley (✬✬✬✬)
The Rose Garden is a fantastic novel about love and what it means to be happy. It also reminds us that home is not always a place with four walls and a roof, it's about the feeling you have once you find it.2. White Heart by Sherry Jones (✬✬✬✬)
Jones doesn't elicit the reader's sympathy by portraying a vulnerable or demure widow. Rather, she sparks their curiosity, painting a dynamic, pragmatic, and feisty woman who puts aside her personal needs and desires out of devotion for both her country and her son. It is a beautiful and intriguing characterization placed against an equally alluring backdrop.
3. Illuminations by Mary Sharratt (✬✬✬✬)
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel story of Hildegard von Bingen’s faith journey! It was apparent throughout that the author did her research on the practices of the time, both within the Church and without. This is a wonderful read for anyone interested in historical fiction, the lives of saints, and, of course, Hildegard of Bingen!
4. Love Amid The Ashes by Mesu Andrews (✬✬✬✬)
I am a huge fan of biblical fiction, and this book did not disappoint me. Although I am familiar with the few verses in the bible about each character involved in this story, I was very intrigued by how the author combined them to merge various stories into one thread. The final product included some twists and turns that took me by surprise.
