Mine is the Night

Mine is the Night

Step off the coach and enter the world of the Kerr women in the gripping conclusion to the story of Ruth as told by Liz Curtis Higgs in 2 consecutive books. Elizabeth and her mother in law were introduced to the reader in Here Burns My Candle. The author now continues their story, based on the book of Ruth from the Old Testament, as they arrive title less and penniless to live with a poor relative in Marjory’s small Scottish home town. Elizabeth returns to sewing for a tailor in town to keep food on the table. Marjory, her mother in law, cooks and keeps the small one room house while Cousin Ann teaches lace making to wealthy young ladies. Their unfailing trust in the Lord sees them through rough times until they meet Captain Jack who has a profound influence on all their lives.

I could not put this book down once I started reading it. The author again creates real people with such skill that you immediately are drawn into their stories and can not wait to follow their lives to the conclusion. Her attention to detail is again obvious and her descriptive skill exceptional as she creates the world that existed in 17th century Scotland. I encourage everyone to take the time to read this wonderful novel. You will not be disappointed if you do.
