my thoughts
Hope Between the Pages possesses a reverent depth sprinkled with humor throughout. Although I could gush over this story for hours (and still not do the story justice), as a staunch opponent of spoilers, my words will remain bound to preserve the precious awe of discovery for my fellow readers.
The dual timeline (or split time) novel is a natural fit for an author well versed in both historical and contemporary storytelling and Basham brilliantly shines in her genre debut. Each painful moment is gently unveiled with purpose and respect for both the character and the reader experiencing the tides of tragedy and triumph.
Readers will not be disappointed by this story. As impossible as it is for me to choose a favorite from Basham’s many delightful stories, this one certainly earns the prize for the greatest range of emotions evoked. Have a box of tissues ready, my friends, but don’t let the possibility of tears deter you. I highly recommend Hope Between the Pages.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post a review. Additionally, as a co-owner of JustRead Publicity Tours, LLC, I received compensation from the publisher and/or author to coordinate a promotional tour for this title.
