I Heard the Owl Call My Name
by Margaret Craven
Read for 5410 class
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.
