Until the Harvest
is the continuing story to Sarah Loudin Thomas’s first book Miracle in a Dry Season. You do not need to read the first to enjoy
this companion novel however I was glad I did as I had a much deeper connection
with the town and the Phillip’s family.
Starting off with a bit of a shocker, I was not sure how this
story could redeem itself. But in Ms.
Thomas’s very capable hands I was able to close the book at the very last page
with a deep sigh of satisfaction. This
story deals with grief and the consequences of our actions especially when we
did not make the right choices. It is a
coming of age story, and I must point out that the two matriarchs, Perla and
Emily Phillip’s, handled some of the situations in this book in a fantastic
loving manner. This is not an instant
love story, but shows the growth and maturing of the characters. I also really liked the definition of family,
especially when yours has written you off.
Just like the first, this one has a touch of supernatural which was very
interesting to watch and the explanation for it was pure and simple. I received this book for an honest review
from The Book Club Network, Inc. and the opinions are my own.
