I am getting more picky when it comes to novels. My standards continue to require...clean and uplifting books...I am a fan of Lynn Austin. I was hoping this newer novel would be as enjoyable as those I have read in the past...I am happy to claim that "While We're Far Apart" was very ENJOYABLE. I love "historical fiction"...! The information I had gleaned from this novel was additional information I did not know regarding World War II. LOVED IT! I was UPLIFTED in the "counsel" that is woven throughout the book and especially Jewish traditions. I felt FED when I had concluded the book. In fact, it has inspired me to do more research on an individual that was mentioned in the book...as well...to more studies on Jewish traditions.
Enjoyed the story very much. It had a young adult tone and style. I think it would be an excellent read for young folks (Middle School and High School). Even with some of the usual predictability, there was spiritual meat to gnaw on. The story reminded me that God is always working behind the scenes and that we should never give up on hopes and dreams. Rather, we should be ready to see God working in ways we would not expect.
Okay finished this weekend. Good ending.
