Lädt ... The Poppy Field: Fast-paced women’s fiction about family secrets and survivalvon Caroline Kellems
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m not sure what to say about this book. The character were extremely dislikeable and naive. The plot was slow moving and extremely predictable. Overall not a book I would re-read or recommend. ![]() Publisher: Grand Canyon Press Thank you to A Library Thing for this book. Caroline Kellems writes a wonderful book about a family who moves to Guatamala to become missionaries. Phil decides to go to Guatemala to be a missionary. Phil, Katherine and the kids pack up everything and move to Guatemala from comfortable Indiana. Katherine and the kids must now learn to adapt to this whole new lifestyle which is not very easy. As Phil and Katherine set out to spread the work of GOD and all doesn’t go as planned. Their house is broken into and then they end up moving to another house. This new house seems so wonderful in the beginning but after a while they realized how sinister it really is. This is their story of a new life of adventure, love, loyalty and human relationships. Caroline Kellem, who also happens to live in Guatamala, has written a beautiful book and the descriptions of Guatemala are fantastic. If you are a spiritual person this book is for you. ![]() The book has also been described as Hispanic/American literature, and a mystery/thriller. This book is a mystery and a thriller. I wanted to know the fate of this family under the control of a Mexican drug trafficker. So as far as that storyline went, I was entertained. As for Hispanic American literature, I wouldn't call it that. The novel reads like Romance with a capital R. Setting a love story in the midst of an area that has been fraught with 50 years of violence and terror affecting indigenous people of the Guatemalan highlands for the last 50 years between a naïve wife of a clueless pastor and a sauve drug trafficker who kills anyone who gets in his way does not make Hispanic literature in my view. Nor even a convincing love story. There just wasn't enough depth to earn a convincing, love relationship. The clash of values was just too great. Which ironically made the end of this novel that read like YA fiction, a successful bowtie ending. ![]() keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
WHEN HER HUSBAND, Phil, decides to become a missionary, he turns Katherine's comfortable life in Indiana upside down. Trying to be a supportive spouse, she packs up the kids and soon finds herself in colorful Guatemala, a land of archeological sites, coffee plantations, and peasant farmers, but also a land of violence, narco-trafficking, and armed men. With her husband gone for much of the day and their house the target of thieves, she is forced to accept the help of wealthy and seductive neighbor. He promises a future together, but she catches glimpses of a troubled past. As the net tightens around them, can she free her family from the dangerous pleasures of this entanglement?
