thunderbolt_kid 's review for:
When Calls the Heart
by Janette Oke
Some big notes about this book and me as a reader of it:
-I am not a Christian
-I like sex scenes in books (at a "bare" minimum, they don't upset me)
-I don't want to read books where the female main character reforms her potential partner (through conversion or otherwise)
-I don't want to read books where women's sexual desire is subverted into a love for God
This book was a sweetie of a book - although the main character was sometimes silly, she had many experiences not directly related to any man (or god), including building her "room of one's own": the descriptions of her house just delighted me.
I was interested in the historical description that opened the book and in some of the attributions made there (including a note about how a First Nations chief made a treaty with someone he knew to KEEP his promises - HONOUR THE TREATIES, guys).
Would read again and will likely dig up more of Janette Oke's work to see if it lives up to this book.
