Book Reviews of Julie
Book Review: A Wonderful Novel!
Summary: 5 Stars
Normally I do not enjoy historical fiction, but this one is modern enough that I could relate to Julie and much of what she went through. The book is set in the 1930's (forty-some years after the actual Great Flood), but the details of the flood itself are quite accurate and well-researched. The story itself is very engaging and kept me interested the entire time. The flood scene was almost overwhelming to me (I had no prior knowledge of the flood before reading the book) and was expecting some water damage to the newspaper offices or something. Despite what I'd read on the book jacket I had no idea that (SPOILER) hundreds of people were going to die, including some characters I had grown to care for. The only thing I did not like about the book was the scene in which Julie finally allows herself to feel God's overpowering love. It was a little less powerful than I felt it might have been. In this scene, Julie's clothes have been ripped off of her body and she is riding the rushing waters on a huge, uprooted tree. As she speaks with God, she realizes how vain she is and stands up straight and tall, deciding to not be ashamed of the way the Lord made her. She wonders why she feels ashamed, noting that she had admired her body in the privacy of her room. I see what the author was trying to do in this scene (the whole point is that nothing matters except our relationship with God) yet I found the image of her standing up straight, tall and naked while other people were around distracted me from what was taking place between her and God. Overall, however, this is a very wonderful book on multiple levels.
Summary of Julie
Julie Wallace is just eighteen in 1934 when her father risks their life savings on a struggling newspaper and moves the family to a flood-prone Pennsylvania town.
It is here a young woman's convictions take firm root, as Julie finds herself taking sides when battle lines are drawn between desperate steelworkers and the mill owners who control their lives. And it is here where her heart and her loyalties are torn, divided between two special men. But when a devastating natural catastrophe becomes the ultimate test of courage and commitment, Julie's remarkable inner strength will come to the fore -- a strength born of faith and love.
