An excellent ending to the Belmont Mansion trilogy. Musical readers will especially enjoy this Reconstruction-era story of Rebekah Carrington, a young musician just returning from extensive training in Vienna. Rebekah sadly finds that she must hide the light of her talent under a bushel, due to her status as a female. However, she continues her work as a music tutor, eventually landing a position as the capable assistant to the conductor of the fledgling Nashville Symphony, Tate Whitcomb. They each learn to embrace their respective heritages as the keys to their success, and soon become a celebrated team. However, with Tate learning that he is losing his hearing, and Rebekah on the run from her predatory step-father, they find their faith seriously challenged. The story emerges with a happy ending, in which both Rebekah and Tate learn to trust God with their future, and each other with their hearts. The end result is sweetly satisfying (if a bit rushed at the end), with a golden vein of faith throughout.

This book was amazing. It had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who the "bad guy" was!

A Confederacy Of Dunces is a vivid classic that reminds one of Curb Your Enthusiasm in watching the escapades of Ignatius Reily and the other characters reacting to him. He's an iconic character who reminds me of the frequented of r/antiwork and the others (George, Darlene, Mrs. Reily) each have their own unique charm

It was great!

This is a fascinating novel, especially given Ms. Abdullah 's Muslim heritage. My heart went out to the main character, Jodie, who faces so many challenges along with heartbreaking abuse and neglect , yet manages to somehow behave with composure and a certain amount of nobility. Every character in this story has flaws, and yet this very fact makes the story even more compelling. I was impressed at Ms Abdullah 's unflinching portrayal of many Muslim countries treatment of women and the culture clash when this way of life interacts with Western society. The story will keep you guessing as to who is telling the truth until the last few pages. Excellent, compelling writing!

Definitely one of the best ones I’ve read this year !! It was a brilliantly written book that I’ll be thinking about for a while.

Not my usual genre but it is a decent book. It’s a story of friends who were in university together making a pact to always stay friends and have reunions throughout the years, but as time goes by lives change events happen and slowly people fall. Away from one another.

Funny!
