The Painter’s Daughter – Julie Klassen
Hmmmm….where
do I begin? This is a story full of
secrets, and I loved it! Sophie is the
painter’s daughter, an under appreciated painter’s daughter. Her step-mother is horrible! I love how Stephen stands up for Sophie to
her! She is left by one brother, Wesley,
but is she rescued by the other brother, Stephen?
Stephen
takes Sophie to live with his family, who are not all welcoming of her. I’m not giving any more details. Trust me that this story is full of
well-developed characters. There are
plot twists and turns. I admit, I had to
flip to the back of the book and “browse” because I just had to find out what
might happen. (Not the last page, but
the last part.) There are some great
spiritual references and values in these pages.
Anger. Jealousy. Forgiveness.
These are some of the themes I see in The Painter’s Daughter. I
like many books, but I truly LOVED this book!
I had a hard time putting it down.
I stayed up too late reading the next chapter…and then the next! I put off chores that needed to be done!
**Thank you Bethany House! I received this book in exchange for an
honest review!**
