Book Review -- "Unbound" by Eleanor Bertin

Unbound by Eleanor Bertin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This gripping tale takes us through the lives of Ruthie and her mother-in-law Naomi. Mourning of the sudden and cruel loss in their lives, they are left to grapple with the circumstances. As they try to figure things out and piece their lives back together, they face various obstacles and challenges, not to mention the entry of the self-proclaimed prophet Jake, who seeks refuge in his misinterpretations and misunderstanding of divine learnings, and uses his misinformed points as excuses for his behaviour.
The characterization was lovely. Bertin did a great job with how she has handled Jake, who is brought in as a foil to real and conscientious believers, to show what could go wrong when Biblical teachings are misused. I loved the articulation of particularly heart-wrenching concepts of regret, redemption, and overcoming grief.
Many thanks to Just Read Tours, and the author Eleanor Bertin, for gifting me a copy of this book for an honest review.
