I hear my mother’s voice coming from the office down the hall and pull my black sweatshirt over my head as I tiptoe undetected cross the hardwood floors. She’s never asked about the path of her parents’ romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start.Īs she starts to see things around her with new eyes, Quinn will have to make tough choices about whether she’ll keep waiting…or finally go after what she really wants. Until a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn her world upside down. Quinn knows she shouldn’t wait for him anymore. Lucas Morrow is a man, and knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden.īut years ago, Lucas left town and shows no signs of returning. And when a family friend-several years older-from her childhood still holds her heart, she knows they’re going to be a problem. Under the close watch of the men in her family, Quinn Caruthers has found it nearly impossible to spread her wings-or even date-without her three older brothers, Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon, jumping in to hover. Her love of these stories and her interest in people's lives made Pearl Buck determined at an early age to become a writer of stories. She also read books available to her: Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and various works of Shakespeare, Scott, Thackeray, George Eliot, and, especially, Dickens. Another strong influence on the young girl was her mother, Caroline Sydenstricker, who told stories about America to Pearl. She later called these legends her first literary influence. She spoke Chinese before she spoke English, played with Chinese children, and listened intently to the Buddhist and Taoist legends related to her by her Chinese nurse. Through her writings and humanitarian activities, she often made attempts to reduce the cultures of China and the United States to their lowest common denominator in order to bridge the two worlds in which she lived.Īlthough Pearl Sydenstricker was born in America (1892), she was taken to China by her missionary parents when she was only a few months old. Buck was truly a pioneer in appreciating the People's Republic of China and its emergence as a world power. You can also be an aetheist and derive much insight into the nature of what drives us toward spirituality to begin with. She found her drawn to Judaism and converted.Īnd that makes alot of sense, in that The Sparrow does speak about religion but in a completely open, tolerant way. And very very beautiful.Īfter I was done, I read that the author had left the Catholic church at age 15, and after 20 years of aetheism found herself re-examining questions of values, ethics, morality and religion upon the birth of her child. And altho most of the main characters are indeed Jesuits and so many questions and approaches do involve Catholicism, they were universal. I would instead call it a spiritual book in that the journey involves time old questions, of faith, of God, of religion, of humanity. So I'm really glad that a group decided to read this, because it is NOT a yah-yah Christian book at all. I had picked this up years ago due to all the terrific reviews, but when I started it, since it involves priests and such, I thought it was going to be a Christian book. And María Teresa is the baby, nearly 10 years younger than Minerva, and spoiled as only a youngest child can be, though she will surprise you in the end. Dedé is the worrier and the most reluctant to get involved in the revolution. Patria is the oldest, a devout Christian, and the pseudo-parent of the four (good name for that, no?). She is the sister who begins their involvement in the resistance during Trujillo's rise to power, and it is ultimately her commitment that involves the rest of her family. Set during the waning days of the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republica in 1960, this extraordinary novel tells the story the Mirabal sisters, three young wives and mothers who are assassinated after visiting their jailed husbands. I respect brazen courage and admire lucky stupidity. Alvarez has created such solid and unique characters that you start to wish that YOU were the fifth sister by the time you're a a few chapters into the book.Īs far as the sisters themselves, I love them all but Minerva is my favorite sister, hands down. I love the different interpretations of the same events, and because each sister has such a distinct and different personality, it isn't difficult to keep them separate as you read. The first person POV allowed the same story to be told from multiple perspectives, which seems to be a new thing (genre?) in literature right now. The stories of the four sisters are told in alternating chapters - each from a different sister's point of view and from different points in time (Ex. I thoroughly enjoyed the format of this novel, and I know some readers don't, so I think it's worth a mention.
