Initially
I had difficulty finding the rhythm to the language of this story,
but somewhere in the third chapter all fell into place. A
Bound Heart is a delightful
story of two people with so much in common yet in very different
stations in life. Through a series of very vexing circumstances it
appeared that love would find a way, but new complications continue
to arise, and priorities have to be examined and reconsidered. It is
a story of learning to wait upon the Lord, and of holding on to trust
in Him.
Both
the characters and the setting of A Bound Heart
are engaging, whether they are the ones you adore or the ones you
abhor. The reader will experience a history-steeped Scottish isle, a
disease-provoking West Indies island, and a both welcoming and
threatening Virginia Colony. (I especially enjoyed mentally
revisiting Colonial Williamsburg.) The reader will also experience a
broad range of emotions that Frantz is so skilled at evoking. One
cannot help but care about the characters she creates.
I
highly recommend A Bound Heart
along with any book by this author. I thank NetGalley and Revell
Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an
honest review. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review
and received no monetary compensation.
