5.0
Beautifully told story of a young woman going to Oxford University to study literature and finding a lot more than she ever expected...
It's a slow unraveling of what she thought she knew about the world and about herself, and a grasping of something seemingly unknowable: grace, grace, grace.
Interwoven with literary delight, human flaws, academic discussions, deep and searching questions... some get answers, but most of them remain. The author invites the reader to dwell in the mystery with her. Faith put in simple terms, really.
