After wanting to read this book for a very long time, I'm a little disappointed. I found the writing style difficult to follow. Understandably, it is a semi-autobiography, and covers sensitive topics, but I was not overwhelmed.

Yoricke_SouthAfrica @Santie I remembered to tag you in my review 😊 3w
Santie You did! Thank you. I guess it will remain shelved for now 2w

This book has been on my TBR list for far too long. Time to read it at last

Santie Please tag me in your review. I started and then it wasn‘t what I expected, slow burn and I got impatient. Need some motivation to revisit it 😩 4w
Yoricke_SouthAfrica @Santie Will do. Sometimes timing has a lot to do with when a book makes sense. I've put books down, only to pick it up years later and enjoy it. 4w

I enjoyed this book tremendously. Written in a post WWII Japan, it tells the story of a young girl's life in Japan, growing up in a very prominent family. Well written, this book shines light on difficult topics, with sensitivity and raw emotion.

And so the adventure comes to an end. I started reading this series 4 years ago, and then re-read it in anticipation of this last book. The conclusion to this epic tale did not disappoint. I will miss the sisters and all the other characters, but absolutely loved this series 📚📚📚

Yoricke_SouthAfrica @Enchanted_Bibliophile I know exactly what you are saying. She's not my favourite sister either, but her story is very interesting. I think you'll enjoy this book a lot. 4mo

This was the 4th book in the Court of Thorns and Roses series. This book is best described as a novella or brief interlude between the dramatic events that take place in this magical place. It is beautifully written and very well placed in the series.

This book is a follow on from The Kitchen House, but can also be read as a stand alone book. I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed The Kitchen House. Both books give great insight into the plantation era, specially focused on the slave trade. Heartbreaking, thought provoking and very well written!

This is the 3rd book in the Jerusalem Road series. This book centres around Mary, Christ's mother.
This is a fantastic series that focuses on phenomenal women of the Bible, using fiction, fact and faith.
