There are very few books that do that for me. Very, very few. Though I love a lot of books, and many of them I have read and reread often, it takes a special book for me to feel so connected.
When The Imposter arrived earlier this week I placed it on the stand beside my chair in the living room thinking I would read a few chapters after dinner and before bedtime.
Later that evening I settled in to read a few chapters. It wasn't long before I was no longer aware that I was sitting in my favorite chair. Instead I found myself in Stoney Ridge on a moss farm. Though there was heartache, and even bigger trouble brewing there was a certain calmness throughout. I really loved the faith portrayed in this book and how it became alive and real for the characters.
By the end of the book I felt refreshed, encouraged, and excited to be serving a wonderful God who cares for His children and gives peace even in the middle of the storm.
Disclaimer: I was not asked to review this book. I simply wanted to share with you all the latest great read I had, and hope you get to enjoy it too!
Sounds like a great book, thanks for the mini review.
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed her books so I'm looking forward to reading this one too. Thanks for the review.

I'm anxiously awaiting this book to arrive at my local library. I too, have the same experience whenever I read one of her books. Ms. Fisher is one of my favorite authors.

The Squire "disappears" into books, too. Sometimes, when I ask him a question, it is as if I have awakened him from a sound sleep. "Huh? Whah?" One of our daughters got into a LOT of trouble because he totally messed up a message she had given him while he was reading. To this day - forty years later! - she always asks to speak to me before she is willing to leave him a message.
