I enjoyed I Heard the Owl Call My Name. My mom recommended I read it several years ago when I was still living in Washington, and I’m glad I remembered her recommendation when I was looking for books this week. Because it is more literary than typical Christian Fiction, it is not for everyone, but as an English major, I enjoyed the opportunity to identify symbolism and thought-provoking themes. As such, I would recommend it to readers who prefer Anne Lamott over the Evangelical Christian by Karen Kingsbury and Tracie Peterson. None of the characters annoyed me; Margaret Craven is very succinct in her characterizations and narration, but that depth isn’t required since the content, symbolism, and themes are so deep.

everyone should read this book before they move. It's simple and powerful if you give it a chance

This is the best book ever. I read it back in high school a long long time ago. It is a power novel that had me crying by the end of the. I remember my entire class sitting in pin drop silence when the teacher finished reading. I highly recommend this book. As I said, the best book.
