I am, naturally, reading this is English. Goodreads, for some reason unbeknownst to me, doesn’t offer a listing for the English version.

“Woman transcends all expectations when her heart is faithful to God. ... God can do tremendous things through you—once you stop trying to wield all the power yourself.” (p. 226)

This novel presents simultaneous perspectives from three protagonists, but ... one is told in third-person past tense; one in first-person past tense; and one in first-person present tense.

I have enjoyed every book by Katherine Reay, but this literary approach, along with the rather depressing tone and content thus far, slows my progress on this one. I don't dislike the book; it just hasn't captured me yet.

I’m not sure what I think. I’m enjoying the historical parts of Jane, but the contemporary pieces ... not so much. I like Sophie and adore Uncle Bertram, but Eric, allegedly charming, seems a cad.

I’ve heard the stories dozens of times over the years, but never actually read the book ... until now. I’m loving it and hate that I took so long to start it.
