Here is a book with great writing: character, plot and
setting. The characters are engaging, the setting in Labrador,
Canada -- unknown and rich for exploration. The issues:
love, isolation and problems with the Church and faith
are both contemporary and timeless.
Ms.
Jensen is an excellent writer. Her use of language is
crisp and literary.
While
this book has a religious theme, but it is not preachy
or moralistic. There are a couple of sex scenes, but they
are not gratuitous, but thrown in for reasons of plot
and revealing things about the characters. This book takes
adult themes and explores them realistically and with
great feeling.
This
is a deeply felt and well-observed novel. It is sad that
Ms. Jensen had to resort to Lulu.com to publish such a
fine book when so many less-deserving novels get published
by the big publishing houses every year.
I
accidentally gave this book a 4-Star Rating on another
site, but it really is a 5-Star book. One you think about
after you have read it. It stays with you for awhile. |
