Rezensionen für Leotas Garten

[mrslee_1 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Couldn't put this down. A story about broken lives and people and the effects of Christ's love on them. Very realisticly portrayed. There is no perfect happy ending here, but much hope. My favorite part of the story is the fact that it is about an old woman whose granddaughter comes to live with her. There were many places that hit home deeply. Fortunately, when I came to live with my grandmother, there were no broken relationships or misunderstandings to deal with. It was just joy and the regular trials of blending two seperate households into one. This book, I think, gave me insight into my Grammie's heart a bit.

I love this author and have read all her work. But I was REALLY frustrated and disappointed with the ending of this book. She did not give it a realistic NOR a satisfying ending. I won't give away the ending because that would be rude to you reading this but though her other books get 5 stars, this one does not!

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the daughter/mother and gandmother/granddaughter relationships and how they grew throughout the story! Sure the ending wasn't happily ever after, but it was the perfect ending for me. It brought closer to the story, but not the end of the story. She leaves itt open for you to continue, which I love.

Dysfunctional family at it's best, throw in a sociology student forced into interviewing an old person, four generations of secrets and misunderstandings, and a little romance. The bad part was the 18 year old Anne-Lynn was not really a very believable character, too mature and too saintly. Nora was a little too bad to be real, but Leota was wonderful. Also, a little TOO Christian. I skimmed through a lot of the Bible quotes.
