A review by steiner
The Parable of the Mustard Seed by Lisa Henry

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the cultural elements which are totally new to me. I don't think I have ever read any book featuring a Samoan protagonist.
The story was well executed. It could have been very dodgy territory with the power dynamics in the relationship but I think she handled it with sensitivity. I liked that Caleb could get a future while still struggling with problems. I found this hopeful despite the dark subject matter.
