so-so

Ruth and Euan travel to #Bahrain so that Euan can preach at the local church. Ruth is a bit bored and lonely, as is neighboring teen Noor, but what each is searching for the other ultimately can‘t provide. This book initially bashes you over the head with religion without warning (unless you read @squirrelbrain ‘s review, thanks Helen!), but then backs off that a bit to explore these two lost women. Not bad, not great.

bailed

I‘m still counting this for #readingasia2021 #bahrain,as I made it just over halfway before bailing! 😁

The blurb gives no clue (other than the word ‘faith‘ hidden away) that Euan is a Christian going to Bahrain to convert the local Muslims, and to smuggle Bibles. The book is full of preaching and bible quotes and seems to strongly infer that Christianity is good and Islam is bad. It‘s also set in expat Bahrain so no feel for the country at all.

TrishB Helen bailed again 😱😱 3y

TrishB I‘m definitely not picking this one up. 3y

squirrelbrain I know @TrishB - what is the world coming to?! 🤪 3y

BarbaraBB Lol! Reading Asia is pushing our boundaries 😉 (edited) 3y

Megabooks This is a big no! 3y

Librarybelle Totally counts! 3y

rockpools Oh no! Also, congrats on bailing 🥳. Sometimes it‘s entirely necessary! 3y

Hooked_on_books Oh no! I just bought this one and that sounds awful! 😩 Well, I‘ll still try it since I have no other Bahrain options on my radar. 3y

squirrelbrain At least you‘re pre-warned Holly! @Hooked_on_books Let me know if the second half is any better and I might give it another go…. 🤷‍♀️ 3y

Hooked_on_books Will do. If I make it that far! 3y

Hooked_on_books I started this one last night and have read maybe 20 pages so far. Holy cow, bible, bible, bible! Why would the publisher mischaracterize this so badly in their description?!? It serves no one! I‘m really glad for your review, since it prepared me much better than they did. 3y

squirrelbrain I know Holly @Hooked_on_books - I just couldn‘t understand why the blurb was so misleading… hopefully you‘ll make it further than I did! 3y

Hooked_on_books I haven‘t posted my review yet, but I finished this a couple days ago. Ultimately I didn‘t think it was bad, but didn‘t love it, either. In the end, I felt like the characters who were more militantly religious were depicted in a negative light, so even though this felt at the start as though it was going to be a super religious book, it wasn‘t. I don‘t really think you missed much by bailing, though. 3y

squirrelbrain I don‘t think I‘ll try to finish it still, even though the second half sounds a bit better than the first! @Hooked_on_books 3y
