Bookish Thursday: The Tenth Gift

It’s been a long time since I have looked up at the clock while reading a book to see that it is 2 a.m. or some other absurd hour! That is the effect that the new book The Tenth Gift: A Novel  by Jane Johnson had on me.

I have to admit. The first chapter didn’t grab me. But after the second storyline started mixing in, it was full speed ahead! The author does an excellent job of weaving the stories of two women from separate time lines together, through their common love of embroidery, and their experiences. She weaves a tale that catches you in it’s web and won’t let you go!

The book also gives a glimpse into the Muslim culture and history with an interesting twist. 

A keeper.

And hey.. they have it for the Kindle too!
