Book Reviews of The DuetBook Review: A Great First Novel! Summary: 5 Stars
My kids have enjoyed Robert Elmer's children's fiction for years, so I was delighted to hear about The Duet! It is a heart warming story, set in a quirky Dutch farm town in Washington state, with characters that are easy to relate with and love, and has an unforgetable ending. I could barely put it down once I started it - I stayed up way too late last night and couldn't finish it so I made my husband drive the kids to school this morning so I could finish the last chapter! I look forward to more books from Mr. Elmer in the future and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Mitford series, Angela Hunt, Francine Rivers, or just a good old fashioned story! Wonderful!
Book Review: The Duet Summary: 5 Stars
From page one to The End, this book captured my senses, my thoughts and my heart. Robert Elmer has written with such clarity and *reality* that I not only enjoyed every word, but believed them--*felt* them. One of the longest-lasting gifts he delivers is the tenderness with which he communicates the concrete struggles and happy hopes of our own lives. Grit, music and circumstance center the story; faith and unrelenting love bring it home. Honestly, I cannot look at the cover now without wanting to say, "Oh, thank you and well DONE, Mr. Elmer!"
Book Review: A delight Summary: 4 Stars
This novel made me want to settle down in a small town like Van Dalen and get to know all my neighbors. Robert Elmer made music with words while writing The Duet. I look forward to reading more of his fiction. I especially appreciated how he wrote about matters of theology that different Protestant denominations often quibble about, helping me understand things I hadn't understood before. And although I learned as I read, I never felt like I was being taught. It was simply part of the story. I loved that.
Book Review: Witty and Thought Provoking Summary: 5 Stars
The Duet was a fun book to read. It included the kind of writing I enjoy; real and coversational. All through the book, I felt like I had known these people for years and were talking to them in my own living room. It was great reading and I would recommend it to anyone needing a light novel.
