A review by davehershey
Godric by Frederick Buechner
3.0
I expected to love this book due to very good reviews and it being nominated for awards. In the end I was not disappointed, I did love it and will have to read it again soon. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did I was genuinely moved by the very human characters struggling with sin and brokenness, specifically the main character Godric. This is a book that I think will be appreciated even more with rereads.
Buechner is an amazing writer and like his other books this one was a joy simply to read. Throughout the story we are reminded of the beauty of grace in the life of Godric. Godric committed some awful sins, even being plagued with inner turmoil and sin while considered a holy monk, yet with the sin comes even more grace.
