Sweeter Than Birdsong

The bulk of reviews are in for this new release to a fairly new author and the opinions are high! The cover is the first thing that grips me for this novel as it tells so much a story on it's own. Interestingly the heroine in this novel has a different personality than I find myself used to in reading Christian Historical settings, but it's intriguing. Part of it is odd to me, because by the descriptions it seems as if she has always had the anxiety disorder, but is only recently trying to overcome it but... for her to have gotten to her current age and progressed as far as she has at the college wouldn't she have had to overcome some of her shyness and anxiety before hand? That just threw me a bit - however her reasons for being so are definitely one that would affect a person's personality!

Throughout every page I can tell that this one is well researched. The descriptions really allow your imagination to fly back in time. All the characters and their issues are real and rough and show through to a reality once known and in someways still there. This is a great release for a February!

Thanks to Thomas Nelson and Litfuse Publicity Group for providing an ARC for review.
