I'll Watch the Moon

Jeni Enjaian

Just like the first time I read Ann Tatlock's books, my love for her works grows with each book I read. 
This is a beautiful story, a beautiful love story. As Tag (Nova) explains in the beginning of the book, it's not a love story in the sense of telling how a man and woman fell in love and lived happily ever after. It's a story that shows the complex, myriad forms of love in some of the toughest circumstances. 
Tatlock doesn't sugar coat the harsh realities of life (infidelity, German death camps, polio, sexual abuse) but she does not dwell on them either. Instead she describes love's (as a picture of how God loves is) power to transcend the darkness. 
I highly recommend this book.

*Update*
A certain few of Tatlock's books continue to capture my attention. This book is one of them. Tatlock has a certain magic with which she weaves the words. Unfortunately, this magic seems to have run its course and not make an appearance in some of her later works.

This book survived the second "purge" and will remain on my shelf.
