An Absence So Great, Portraits of the Heart Series #2
By: Jane Kirkpatrick
Random House, Inc / 2010 / Paperback
I am once again struggling to write this review. This book was a very slow read for me. I must say that books have to hold my attention from the first 20 pages. This one did not do this. I realize it was a story about the authors family so it is not for me to judge the content of this book. BUT for me as a Christian woman trying to stay on the path that God has for me, I do not like to read books with infidelity in them. I realize many people Christian and non Christian do not mind reading these, I do not like to.
So with that said, I can not recommend this book to my readers on that issue alone. But, I did enjoy reading about the history of photography and how it evolved for a young aspiring photographer in the early 1900's where women were still thought to be in the home. The pictures throughout the book were very intersting to look at. I guess that if you like these type of historical novels you would like this one.
This book was provided to me for review from WaterBrook Multnomah.

What an honest and up front review! I too enjoyed looking at the photos and the history of photography in the 1900's. I found the views on what women could and could not do pretty interesting from that time period!
