Honestly, cutting necessary narrations where it is required spoils the character of a novel instead, it turns out to be a long ‘short story’!. It seemed, the writer rushed through deliberately to avoid boredom and it did have that speed in changing scenes and backdrop till the end. At some point I thought, it had creases and wrinkles that could be ironed out with prolix narration and subtle details, especially when it deals with emotions of characters and describing the plot. The fear about scars was a sheer psychological issue, but how the character got tamed to that in the end remained unpredictable. A secret remains more a secret when it’s hollow, and that illusion did work. The characters did play well as in a movie (could be a script someday!), though the suspense of the story disappointed a bit. One thing, as it thrilled me for being lighter and entertaining, the other, getting me into the realm of modern romantic fiction, which took off well. In its genre, I would rate is above average. She should be proud to have produced a novel of much acclaim at the very beginning. At the outset, ‘Finding Grace’ was an enjoyable read.
