I’ve been doing the booksneeze program, which works through the Thomas Nelson publishing group, for a while now, and I’ve enjoyed it so much. Honestly, I don’t have the money to go buy new books for me- especially since I eat through them like they’re Turkish Delights:) When I learned that Bethany House Publishers had a comparable program, I was über excited. I love Tracie Peterson and authors like her. When I got the e-mail that listed a Siri Mitchell novel, “A Heart Most Worthy” among the latest new books, I was thrilled. Siri Mitchell is one of my favorite novelists- along with Ted Dekker:) What a pair, huh? I received the books and it really is a fantastic book. “A Heart Most Worthy” takes place in 1918 Boston- in the midst of the Great Italian Emigration. Quite a few of the characters are Italian or of Italian descent. There are Italian words sprinkled in- almost like how Amish words are sprinkled in an Amish fiction novel. The novel revolves around three seamstresses that work in Madame Fortier’s opulent dress shop. Julietta, in my own opinion, is a bit of a flirt; Annamaria is really shy (pretty different from Julietta), but she falls in love with the wrong guy. And Luciana is secretive with a mysterious past. With plenty more original characters and a wonderful plot, “A Heart Most Worthy” earns 5 out of 5 stars and would be recommended to any romantic or historic reader:)
Oh, by the way, because of the law thing (the one that applies to the booksneeze books as well), I didn’t have to give this book a good review. I received this book for free from the publishers. So there’s no conflict of interest. I just really really like Siri Mitchell. The whole “free” thing was like the cherry on top:)
