She Walks in Beauty Siri Mitchell 9780764204333 Books

After reading a HOST of mediocre Christian Fiction, Siri Mitchell has once again given me hope in the genre. After a litter of amish and pioneer subjects - Siri does not disappoint when it comes to historical fiction. And once more, her characters are multi-dimensional and interesting! They are not boring and predictable. Oh, Siri I could just HUG you for this book! Thank you!

Clara is a bright, intelligent woman who dreams of going to Vassar College. She lives with her wealthy, but distant and somewhat mysterious father and prickly aunt - an ambitious and socially-driven woman who is determined to help her niece marry the "catch of the ton" - Franklin de Vries. Clara is socially-anxious and is constantly concerned with what she should do and say. A welcome relief to her circle is Harold de Vries, the congenial younger brother. Her lifelong friend, Lizzie, is also a lifeline to her in this foreign land of intrigues and alterior motives.

The supporting characters are just as interesting! How did her father really earn his fortune? Were the de Vries really responsible for ruining the Carter fortune decades ago? Is a marriage between Franklin and Clara for revenge?

My ONLY regret is that I finished this book in one day and now there is no more! Siri Mitchell is a breath of fresh air in Christian Fiction. These characters are fresh, the storyline is unique and ingenuitive. And Siri is a genius. Do yourself a favor. Buy DON'T BORROW this book. You'll want to read it again.

She Walks in Beauty Siri Mitchell 9780764204333 Books Reviews

Clara Carter was a young debutante in New York City. She lived with her father and her aunt. It was the season of coming out, with balls and dinners and operas; the way to be seen by many so as to catch a husband. The family set their sites on the heir of the wealthiest family in high society. The rest of the book basically is Clara and her best friend trying to get his attention so that one or the other could marry him. it took a very long time for the gist the book to be written. At 65% through the book I still couldn't figure out where it was going.
The last few chapters really got going and I enjoyed the conflicts and resolutions.
The book was fairly well written, but not knowing what the book is actually about for so very long was a bother. It was almost entirely about what balls they attended, what restaurant they went to, what opera they were seen at, and about what gowns they were wearing, what they ate, and conversations in between. Friendly competition for the heir seemed to be the only plot.
I appreciate at the end all the things Clara learned and how she turned out . She grew up a lot, She gained wisdom and she faced many things that she needed to face. She turned into the woman she really needed to be and wanted to be.S
I have hundreds of books on my . Aaaand sometimes when I check books out at the library (as I did with this one) I don't realize that I already have it in my collection. So when I was about 3/4 of the way through with this book that I was enjoying so much, I looked on my to see if I had any other books by Siri Mitchell,and happy, happy, joy, joy, this very book was on it, which made me exceedingly happy because this will be a book I will read again and again.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I was instantly hooked with the authors style. Perhaps this is also because it is written in first person (my favorite POV) and I don't often read many Christian historicals in first. I was fascinated by all her details about New York high society during the Gilded Age. The details were incorporated in such a humorous way through the eyes of the main character that I found myself chuckling at a lot at her blunders. The characters were fun, but the story is also tempered with a serious note and a Christian message Does God love me just as I am? Because of some of the topics that are revealed and addressed, I would not recommend this to younger teens. It is a clean book and a sweet romance unfolds, but some of the themes might be best for older teens and adults.
I'm checking out more of this author's books, and am happy to have this in my collection to be able to read again.
