Although this is well written, the plot is tempered by the romance interest. The characters are underdeveloped but suitable for the light read this book provides. Issues are raised but they do not impinge on the reader. ( ) Stephanie’s father is an Idaho State representative, her best friends are protesting the Vietnam War, and Stephanie wants to make a difference. Author Donna Fletcher Crow depicts a small-town girl’s view of Vietnam with powerful conviction, leading to a growing sense of conflicted political ideals in her protagonist. But Stephanie is strong enough to rise above it all, even stepping into her own smaller wars with the Attorney General when he opposes her stand to create more immediate change in housing for the poor. Combining a convincing sense of history with detailed depictions of political machinations, Days of Turmoil recreates the turmoil of a time not so long ago, while balancing it on a past that is likewise recent. A delightful sense of family histories, so easily lost, is well-balanced against the battle for very real religious and political issues. With natural faith, honest exploration of freedom’s changing face, and an intriguing touch of self-searching uncertainty, the novel is as convincing in its depiction of romance as in the gritty realities of politics and the prayers of the haunted. It’s a very cool read, with intriguing discussion questions too. Disclosure: I love the author’s writing and I got this one in a deal. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
