Here Burns My Candle

by Lynn Curtis Higgs
Kim C's copy, 454 pages
genre: Christian historical fiction

I don't mind that I missed the book club discussion on this book. I didn't like it. Set in Scotland during the 1745 rebellion, this book is based on the story of Ruth from Scripture. Infidelity, poor communication, unhealthy relationships, etc. This just didn't do it for me. I think everyone else really liked it, but it was the same with Higgs' retelling of Jacob & Esau. This author's style just doesn't inspire me.
