Book Reviews of The Endearment
Book Review: A very sweet book
Summary: 4 Stars
The Endearment is the story of Boston-bred Anna (and her brother James), and Anna's attempt to make a better life for herself - by becoming the mail order bride of Karl Lindstrom, who's arrived in Minnesota from Sweden and is looking for a wife. What Karl doesn't realise is that Anna's told him a passel of lies in order to make him agree to marry her - and the greatest deception is one that takes a long time to be revealed.
Don't read this book if you're looking for a bodice ripper; this is a quiet, feel-good read that'll warm the cockles of your heart. The hero and heroine both have their flaws - Anna's lied through her teeth and isn't particularly hygienic; Karl is sometimes just too good to be true. But overall, their romance is what I look for in a love story - love, affection, friendship, not just lust.
The descriptions of the woods, the many chores they do, etc, got a bit tedious at times (I could have done without knowing each step of how to harness a horse!), but what the heck. Great book anyway.
