Her Mother Hope Marta Legacy Francine Rivers 9781414318639 Books

I've read and have been deeply moved by Francine Rivers' books, so I anxiously awaited my review copy of this epic story. Francine does an amazing job of creating complex characters which instantly grab at your heart strings.

The reader first meets Marta Schnieder as a young girl doing her best to cope with a task master father. She loves to learn and has great dreams of speaking many languages, going to college and maybe even owning a business. Marta's dream crashes when her father demands she work several jobs to make money for the family. Marta vows she will never be just a servant girl. She would prove her father's image of her wrong.

Her mother comforts Marta saying, "Marta, listen to me...It doesn't matter what your father plans, nor what his motives might be. God will prevail. God will use anything to His good purpose if you love and trust Him."

Marta says, "I know what I want in life, and I'm going after it. I'm not going to let things happen to me. I'm going to make things happen."

Not only is Marta feisty, but she has a good eye for business and will fight for what is right. I was amazed at how Marta embraced modern conveniences as they were available. The first big leap was indoor plumping. What a treat for her and her family.

Since I've grown up having all these new gadgets I found it quite interesting to read about people discovering them for the first time. It was fascinating to see how it changed family dynamics and the way people lived life. I was intrigued by history with all its changes and how people treated one another during each phase.

I enjoyed the use of personal letters written between the characters. It was very affective in getting to know the heart of each character; it also made the story very personal. You'll be as interested as I am to see how this family survives the war in the sequel, which is due out Fall of 2010.

Her Mother Hope Marta Legacy Francine Rivers 9781414318639 Books Reviews

Marta had a very hard life growing up with an abusive father. Still, she knew her mother loved her very much. She felt her mother had made serious mistakes with her younger sister and she did not want her daughter to grow up like the weaker sister had. But Hildemara was not the same person her sister had been, and Marta was not the same as her mother. She never let this child see her softer side, never showed her love and compassion, thinking to make her strong. In spite of the flawed character of the protagonist the book is excellent reading, as all of Francine Rivers books are. The period of history is very sensitively handled. Characterization is good. It is a nice, long book, which I like. I just wish that mother had had a little more heart! I cannot imagine one being that harsh, no matter how tough she wanted her daughter to become! Fortunately she turns to God for help with love in the end. I would recommend this book to everyone, men and women.
This was a book selected by a book club member when it was her turn. I'd enjoyed Sin Eater several years ago and expected this to be as good, but was disappointed short, choppy sentences worked well in Sin Eater because it was written as FROM the thoughts of a little girl. This story, however, moves from very young characters and their thoughts and language to adult characters while the writing style stayed the same. While some of the characters in the family are realistic, other characters are undimensional. It's possible that my reaction is simply because Christian romance is not a genre I care for.
I love long books and I love series. I enjoy staying with characters and seeing them through any and everything. This novel offers quite the opportunity to watch the characters grow and though it does drag once in awhile, it is beautiful and worth every page. I didn't realize what a saga the book was- taking two different women from childhood through to adulthood while also maintaining a colorful and interesting cast of minor characters is quite a feat. I loved the worldwide scope of Marta's experiences and I was deeply moved by Hilde and her quiet grace. But mostly I love that Jesus is at the center of this book. We get to see these characters grow in faith, walk with The Lord, struggle and fall and fail and pray... I feel like I've gotten to see Jesus's heart in all of these characters.

I listened to most of this on a car trip and I think that made it seem longer than it would had I been reading the whole thing. If you like family dramas, then don't miss it. If you are looking for immediate mystery or romance or resolution or conflict, then perhaps give it a pass. All of that is in there, to a degree, but it's slow-burning and secondary to the story as a whole.
This is the first book in a series and the ending is a cliff hanger for the next book. I really enjoyed the first book but only gave it 4 stars because I don't like a book with cliff hangers that mean I need to buy the next one to get answers. I probably WILL buy the next one, the story line is that good; but don't like being pressured to. Loved the characters and enjoyed inviting them into my living room every night to see what would happen to them next. Very engaging story line and sad when the book was finished.
