In Perfect Time by Sarah Sundin
5.0
A few possible triggers: attempted rape, familial psychological abuse, air warfare.
I really enjoyed this. The characters are very likable. Sundin has a great use of sensory description which is very evocative. Her religious allusions stay on the right side of trite.
The only issue I had was with the characters relationship to their faith. They are very inward looking - we only see references to God in terms of their needs and relationships - and God is often more an oracle or fortune teller than someone they relate to. Often, not always. The characters also have a strange way of choosing when to pay about their actions - there were a number of times it seemed to me that prayer would have been appropriate. But how much of this is a failing, and how much is a realistic reflection of how we relate to God?
