The Five Wounds

Average rating4.3
I picked up this novel as it was featured as part of a Lenten Book Club which concluded with a Zoom conversation with the author. I only had a few days to read it and I was gratefully surprised when it turned out to be a "page turner" for me. I kept reading it not b/c the plot was particularly suspenseful. Instead I found the characters to be real and endearing. I read on and on b/c I cared about them and wanted to know how their stories would resolve. My appriciation of the book was increased by my familiarity with its setting in New Mexico as I travelled there on a "cultural" trip years ago. I highly recommend that you journey with this endearing family through this story.
