review 1: This is a well researched book as far as the theological aspects, environment, and history go. The author does a good job of creating and interesting story, however the main characters are all fairly irritating in their own way. The main protagonist is almost a minor character, while the main characters are flawed enough to not be likeable.The book is entertaining and easy to read, but it seemed like it was over-edited, with a lot of the details that could have made it more interesting (for both character and plot development) left out. The book was very short, but I don't think additional effort in describing the main characters or expanding on the narrative of the main events would have made it too lengthy.
review 2: Definitely a page turner! I read it in ... moreabout 5 days, and with 6 little children, that is quite fast for me!I didn't *love* the characters, though. They made me mad! Ha!! I guess that is a sign of a good book, though, isn't it?Also, I appreciated reading about both sides of the fence within the Catholic Church. Sometimes it is frustrating to try to understand "the other side," but it is important (to a degree). I don't really like using the terms "liberal" and "conservative" in religion, but I know there are definitely "sides." At one point, the uncle-priest (my favorite character) questioned a sister who didn't seem to believe in many of the Church's teachings: "... there would come a time when someone who rejected some of the Church's fundamental teachings should ask herself whether or not she is a Catholic." Well said (well written), I thought. less
