This book is an excellent read! It bridges two diverse cultures in a sensitive, thoughtful way. It shows how God's ways are His ways, no matter one's ethnicity.
I sympathize with Rebecca's guilt regarding her sister's death. I sympathize with Sagai and all of the unreasonable obstacles put in his path in trying to become a priest.
Once I had read the first few pages, I didn't want to set it down. Clearly, that wasn't possible, but with the parallel story lines, it was possible to take breaks without losing continuity.
Crooked Lines is a story that shows clearly how two people in different cultures react to adversity. Rebecca and Sagai both suffered severe setbacks in their lives. Their approaches reflected their different circumstances but both were molded by God and His place in their lives.
When I reached "The End," I was sad the story had concluded. More, please!
