Left in my street library.
What I thought of this book when I read this book a few years ago -
I thought this book meandered quite a bit, old Reverend John Ames passing on his wisdom and his "begats" to the young son he will leave behind when he dies in the near future.
The religious thoughts espoused were long-winded and thus a little boring and I really didn't engage with the storytelling until he brought in the human element of the failings of his godchild (Jack) John Ames Boughton and his inability to forgive him for his youthful fathering and abandonment of a child. The book ended up being one of forgiveness when the two of them were able to share in Jack's current predicament of his marriage "in the eyes of God" to a black woman and the birth of his son.
A book about the testing of faith and well written from the point of view of a man by a female author. Thanks for sharing fizzfred.

Arrived yesterday. Thanks for the extras.

Taking to the meet-up.
