There
is a mystery as Lexie had received a telegram asking her to return to
the island. She hadn't been there for years. Someone seems to be
searching the cottage even as Lexie arranges to have repairs made.
Then there is an attempt on her life.
There
is romance as Russell, the manager of the clubhouse and friend from
the earlier years, has eyes for Lexie. She is unsure of where to
place her affection as another vies for her attention.
There
is detail to history too. There's a German submarine off the coast
and concerns about the possibility of danger to those on the island.
There
is also Christian message. Lexie severely doubts God's love for her.
She is troubled by past events and we wonder if her faith will be
renewed.
I
appreciate the many issues covered in the plot. One is the loss of
wealth and reduced living conditions for some while others continue
to live in opulence. Another issue is mental illness and how one
might relate to those so afflicted. There are also the issues of a
possible curse and the love of God for believers. Discussion
questions are included.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
