The Space Between Words by Michèle Phoenix Reviewed






About the book:

 "There were seconds, when I woke, when the world felt unshrouded. Then memory returned."
When Jessica regains consciousness in a French hospital on the day after the Paris attacks, all she can think of is fleeing the site of the horror she survived. But Patrick, the steadfast friend who hasn't left her side, urges her to reconsider her decision. Worn down by his insistence, she reluctantly agrees to follow through with the trip they'd planned before the tragedy.
"The pages found you," Patrick whispered.
"Now you need to figure out what they're trying to say."
During a stop at a country flea market, Jessica finds a faded document concealed in an antique. As new friends help her to translate the archaic French, they uncover the story of Adeline Baillard, a young woman who lived centuries before--her faith condemned, her life endangered, her community decimated by the Huguenot persecution.

My Take:

When I received a copy of this book through Thomas Nelson/Zondervan's Fiction Guild program I really didn't know what to expect. While the story captured me, it was hard to read at times. I'm not a reader who judges a book by it's cover, however, I love this cover and the title made me want to read it. The cover designer hit the nail on the head with this book!

My Bottom Line:

This is a dual time period novel. I enjoy dual time periods, mainly because I feel like I get two stories in one. Ms. Phoenix does a great job of intertwining both present day and history, creating a powerful and memorable story. I highly recommend this story. Do not miss this book!
