A Memory Between Us by Sarah Sundin
3.0
~ Audiobook Review ~
Sarah Sundin often deals with heavier topics in her novels, some are easier to read then others. But the light of Christ always shines brightly in Sarah’s novels and that’s what makes me love them all so much.
Ruth’s struggles were heavy, deep and complex. Many other authors I would find it depressing and heavy. But Sarah Sundin has a way of handling the dark evils of this world authentically but not leaving us there. She fills her books with the light and redemption of Christ leaving you with a joy for the characters.
By the end I even felt more freedom in my own life by asking God to reveal hidden pride & shame in my own life as I read took me on a personal journey alongside the Characters.
Jack and Ruth were cute together but their pride and shame were like magnets repelling each other. And Jacks behavior in chapter 27 was appalling I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed and angry with a fictional character in my life!
Series:
Book 2 in the Wings of Glory Series. Each book follows the life and romance of one of the Novak brothers during WWII as they fly in B-17 Bombers in the Eighth Airforce. This book follows Middle brother Jack Novack. This could be read as a stand-alone. This book picks up in the timeline at the time the last book ended so we get a little glimpse at what has come next for Walt & Allie, and some more glimpses of Ray’s life which will be the focus of book 3.
Content:
Trauma (vivid flashbacks that increase throughout book); Abuse (some hard parts to read); Sexual Innuendo’s (shown as wrong); Rape; Focus on kissing & technique; Focus on her Body Shape; Orphaned; Themes of Shame, Pride & God’s Forgiveness; Christian Faith; Bible Verses and Stories tastefully woven throughout;
I would suggest this book for a mature audience.
I’ve come to accept that Sarah Sundin and I have different standards for kissing outside of marriage, but although kissing is a major storyline I felt like there was more detail than was necessary for the story.
Audio Performance: 8/10
Lisa did a great job and has gained as extra point for this one :) It was an engaging read with great emotion and a smooth reading style.
