The Crooked Path by Irma Joubert
5.0
I absolutely loved, loved this book. Everything from the location of South Africa to the storyline, and the characters. The author found the magic touch striking the right balance with all of these elements. A treasured read!
The story starts out with Marco fleeing with his love and her family. They barely survive to be captured by the Germans. Once freed, Marco is the only one to be alive. He travels to South Africa to be with his brother. In this opening section of the story, I got to meet Marco and start forming a bond with him without the distraction of many other characters. I only say "meet" Marco as I truly got to know him once he met Lettie. He was a true gentleman during the courting stage, a caring husband, great father and brother, and a lover of music.
Now, I need to talk about Lettie. She is also kind and a good friend. Yet, she really blossomed when she met Marco. She was a good wife, mother, alright cook, and had a nice laugh. Marco and Lettie forever. If you are in the look out for an amazing read, you need to check out this book.
