A Reluctant Bride by Kathleen Fuller

27/10/2015

 
      I've never read an Amish romance before, so when I saw this story, I thought it would be nice.  I know Amish have their own language and when using English, they sound Danish.  I love accents, but I'm gonna tell you now, reading it is ​another story, especially the way it's used in this book.
      This is in no way an insult to anyone, especially Kathleen Fuller, the author, but I didn't see the use for the Amish colloquialism.  There were sentences where they said mann instead of man, geh instead of go and several others.  I love the way the Amish sound but there was no need to throw a word in periodically.  It was extraneous.

     Other than that, I loved the book cover.  It's beautiful and looks exactly as I pictured.  Granted, I've been in Amish country before.  I have no complaints there.

     As for the story, it's about a young lady, strong willed and intelligent, who wants nothing to do with men.  She was accosted when she was younger and from then on, kept to herself.

     It's not until she's placed in a bind and needs to get married that she has to settle on a husband.  Sadly, it's the brother of the man who'd attacked her years ago.  She'd kept away from him as a friend, seeing him as a coward, but then she has to accept him as her husband!

     This story is written well, other than the throw-in expressions.  I enjoyed the story.  It deals with issues like alcoholism, sexual abuse, mental and physical abuse and biblical chauvinism.  Sadly, the death of Sadie's parents placed her in a position to marry a person who'd left her to an awful fate years ago.  

     The book raises emotions and is an excellent read for anyone who loves this genre.  I'm on to the next book.   📚
