I really dislike this book. It was recommended in a Christian book group. I bought it, forgot about for six months, and then picked it up again. 200 pages in, I remembered that I’d been told that this book is Christian fiction, but I was really confused and looked it up on Goodreads because it didn’t seem like Faith was a strong point until the last 80 pages when God was brought up several times a chapter. I did not appreciate that the book is about women, but neither character was strongly developed and both were pretty weak. I assumed from the description that Perliett would be a strong woman who knew what she was doing, but she spends 400 pages swooning over two men and handing out quack remedies. None of this is what I was led to expect.
