Book Reviews of Papa's Wife
Book Review: A delightful story with very good values.
Summary: 5 Stars
A heartwarming and amusing story about family life. I'm making it required reading for my teenagers,Book Review: Absolutely charming!
Summary: 5 Stars
This captivating, wholesome story is a refreshing respite from our often hectic, sometimes violent existence in the late 20th century. Pontus and Maria are completely devoted to each other and their family. They don't merely "put up" with each other's differences. Those differences actually serve to endear them to one another. The various situations the family gets into made me laugh and the descriptions of Swedish food and customs was enchanting. I loved this book!Book Review: Maria sets her cap for the bachelor pastor she works for.
Summary: 4 Stars
Set in Sweden, an eighteen-year-old girl comes to work as housekeeper for the parish's confirmed bachelor pastor, and determinedly sets out to marry him. With head still spinning, the newly-married man of God finds his life (as well as his lovely home and fine furnishings), turned upside-down, often with hilarious results. As their family grows, so does Maria's determination to move them all to America with which country she has fallen in love. A wonderful, amusing love story, and proof-positive that once a woman has made up her mind, it is best to capitulate right away. An amusing novel which shares the ups and downs of family life, complete with it's joys and sorrows, founded on faith and love. A definite "warm, fuzzy-feeling" kind of novel.Book Review: Rave
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book the first time when I was 12. I reread it at 32, married, with 3 children. It stopped me from whining, reminded me of how I used to view the world, and made me feel Comforted. Maria reminds us all how truly thrilling life can be as a woman.Book Review: Religious exploration
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book to not be about a young woman getting her man and having children. It's a beautiful depiction of a simple life that reminds us to take a step back from all of our ambition and things that we find important. It's a testemant to Mama's faith. She focused on what was important to her in life, which is what we all should do. She shows us how the jobs like mother and wife, which are often thought lightly of in the current time and play second fiddle to professions, are the most important of them all. Mama makes me want to be a better person.
