I was looking forward to the publication of this book,
sequel to the author’s earlier novel, “In Name Only”. Pressing family matters
delayed my writing and posting this review sooner.
"A Subtle Grace" begins years after "In Name Only"
ended, but it seemed that I had never left the O’Donovan family. The author
quickly brought us “up to speed” as to what had happened in the intervening
years. Her characters and the new story
line leaped from the novel’s pages.
I love this author's work and was probably predisposed to be
favorable. But even I did not expect such a gripping tale. How good was this
book? I bypassed a number of “March Madness” games because I was mesmerized and
intrigued by the plot, its characters, surprise turns and its fast pace. The
book exceeded all of my expectations. It was difficult for me to put it down.
Who says an author can not weave her faith throughout a
novel without losing her audience? You be wrong if you thought so.
Ellen is a gifted author, a great story-teller and a
faithful and courageous Catholic. Do yourself a favor. Read this book! Then go get
copies of her other novels.
