Slow burn but I came to enjoy it and actually came away feeling more positive about Jonathan Edwards than I had before. He wasn’t much earthly good but he was less authoritarian than I had thought.

It was fine, not my favorite.
Read it for a class at Amherst.
Felt like it went on and on, with no real intention. I didn't really fall in love with any of the characters or care if they made it to the end of the book. The multiple voices really didn't sync up.

This is very unusual, immersive book. I wouldn't have thought to pick up a historical novel about the Great Awakening, but a friend recommended it, and she was right.
