The Dearly Beloved by Cara Wall

5.0

The Dearly Beloved is a stunning novel about life. That sounds simple but it's anything but. The novel follows two couples. Both of the husbands are pastors, and each person has a unique relationship with their faith or non-faith. As we follow these couples through their lives, so much is explored - love, loss, faith, non-faith, loss of faith, tragedy, triumph, longing, hope, friendship, community. It's all there, and it's beautiful. I'm blown away that this is a debut novel.
