In
A Far Off Land by Stephanie Landsem is a book
that’s slightly out of my comfort zone but I did enjoy it. This one was edger
that other Christian fiction that I’ve read but it was worth the read. I
enjoyed the prodigal son retelling in 1930s Hollywood which was a setting that
worked for the type of retelling.
The
author stayed true to history and it’s easy to see that she did her research in
order to do justice to hard topics. Even now no one wants to admit it but
during the depression Americans weren’t fond of immigrants taken what few jobs
and the author handled that event in the novel truthfully. As well as the
police corruption in the L.A. police department in the 1930s which is indeed
based in historical fact. That the author handled tactfully.
This
book is worth the read but it’s a hard read.
