An innocent man wrongly imprisoned; not just wrongly imprisoned, but targeted and accused, in order to stall his work to improve the lives of the poor. A beautiful opera singer, propositioned with the threat of blackmail, forced to leave her gift behind and live an anonymous life on the barren moor. A daring escape, an injured stranger, a Constable bent on meting out justice, plots uncovered - in all of this, what is God's plan? Where is His justice?
There was so much action, redemption, and reconciliation in this book; it was thrilling, heartbreaking, and gripping. Yet, the dark characters and the violent evil they wrought on undeserving and unsuspecting recipients was harsh and difficult to stomach. I understand that it highlighted their depravity and lack of understanding of God's mercy and justice, but I felt that it could have been hinted at, but left a bit more off of the page.
I give this book 4 stars; I loved so much of it, it would have easily been a 5-star read without so much violence.
