Playing by Heart
was a thought provoking read by new to me author Anne Mateer. Taking place during World War I in a small
town in Oklahoma, we have two characters that are making some tough
decisions. Both our hero and heroine are
doing what they can do to put their family’s needs before their wants, even
while watching their dreams die. I
enjoyed watching the tender romance grow and even a bit of the history of
basketball. It was interesting to read
how women teachers had much stricter rules enforced upon them than the men did.
This story alternates from both characters point of view, and I liked really
getting to know both of them. This was a
well- crafted story and my favorite part was the message. The title says it all and is very
fitting. And to quote one of the
characters, “…the subject of my work wasn't as important as the act of doing it
well…” I thank The Book Club Network,
Inc. (TBCN) for my review copy. The
opinions are my own and I look forward to more of Anne Mateers books.
