I just finished this book and wow I absolutely enjoyed everything about this book. The writer dives straight into it . I was having her pull on my heart strings a few pages in . She subtly just drops things and leaves you gasping . I appreciate how this book took us to a different realm the most, it's refreshing and I cannot wait to read the rest.
I have started to read the book and everything is so easy to understand and follow. I love that she has given recipes, a day-to-day eating plan guide and devotionals for those days. I am only starting the fast in June but I am really excited to get going with this, to try the recipes and to lean in closer to God.
Having read, “The Priest and the Gondolier” and “Theft from Delos,” Mervyn Nel has the ability to transfer the reader into another place and time. His novels are highly entertaining while at the same time being thought provoking. His characters are well developed, the plots are creative and his descriptions of the settings and backgrounds are a delight to read.
