Christian Novel Review

Having always been an avid reader, since becoming a Christian I have found a wealth of reading material in Christian bookshops and in various second hand bookshops. I have found that in Christian novels one often finds truths that help in one’s Christian walk. I enjoy reading about how the various characters deal with life, and I also find I am the richer for reading a really good Christian novel. Certain authors, through their books, give you a real insight into their joys and struggles, which I find very interesting. The books which I am going to review are those which I have really enjoyed, and have read at least twice – some books, for example the “Mark of the Lion “ series by Francine Rivers, I have read at least five times each. The first books that I am going to talk about are the latest two novels by Francine Rivers,

THE SECRETS OF PAPER AND INK by LINDSAY HARREL

Publication date 26/2/19.
THE SECRETS OF PAPER AND INK by LINDSAY HARREL takes place in Cornwall over two parallel time frames - the present, and 1856 when Emily Fairfax wrote her journal, a copy of which Sophia Barrett finds at Rosebud Books in Port Willis, where she is spending three months in order to get over a bad and abusive relationship.
An avid reader, Sophia is fascinated by Emily's story, especially as she has been advised by her best friend to write a journal herself in order to sort through her feelings and tell her story.
Ginny's brother in law, William, also an avid reader, is fascinated with Emily's story, and even more so with the beautiful Sophia, and he helps in her search.
Ginny is part owner of the book shop, but books are not really her passion - she went into it with her husband, Garrett, and has been left with a business that is not making ends meet while he is off in London "finding himself"!
It is a lovely book, with the written word playing an important role. Emily's story starts with her and Edward exchanging letters at their special tree and it is obvious that writing is very important to Emily.
I am not going to tell you any more as I don't want to spoil the read for you, except to say it is a heartwarming story, sensitively told, with a strong Christian message.
