Love Never Gives Up
Blossoming Of Truth by Susan Gray is a simply marvellous historical novel that I just could not put down.
The story is set in the mid 1920’s in North East England and surrounds the scripture 1 Corinthians 13.
We witness the steadfast love that perseveres and never gives up. A love that began in childhood, a love within a family – both are covered by the novel.
There is the importance of bringing the truth into the light. Lives need the foundation of truth in order to be successful. Lies will only destroy.
We see the fragility of life. How things can change within an instant. Loss consumes. Sometimes loss makes people behave in less than honorable ways.
Forgiveness is important. Forgiveness is a process. Where there has been much hurt, time is needed before forgiveness can be given.
Not everyone is quite who they appear to be. Characters have a mystery to solve. It requires some careful amateur sleuthing.
All the characters were well drawn and believable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
Blossoming Of Truth was a serene novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a cracking story from a new author. I hope there will be much more from Susan Gray.
I received a free copy from Rachel’s Random Resources for a blog tour. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
