The Fiddler, by Beverly Lewis - review

Come home to Hickory Hollow, Pennsylvania--the beloved setting where Beverly Lewis' celebrated Amish novels began--with new characters and new stories of drama, romance, and the ties that draw people together.

A wrong turn in a rainstorm leads Englisher Amelia Devries to Michael Hostetler--and the young Amishman's charming Old Order community of Hickory Hollow. Despite their very different backgrounds, Amelia and Michael both feel hemmed in by the expectations of others and struggle with how to find room for their own hopes. And what first seems to be a chance encounter might just change their lives forever.

Beverly Lewis, born in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, is The New York Times bestselling author of more than ninety books. Her stories have been published in eleven languages worldwide. A keen interest in her mother's Plain heritage has inspired Beverly to write many Amish-related novels, beginning with The Shunning, which has sold more than one million copies and was recently made into an Original Hallmark Channel movie. In 2007 The Brethren was honored with a Christy Award. She has been interviewed by both national and international media, including Time magazine, the Associated Press, and the BBC. Beverly lives with her husband, David, in Colorado. Visit her Web site at www.beverlylewis.com for more information.

 

 

Thoughts from OHM:

I don't know what it is about them, but I seem to have developed this 'thing' for Amish 'romance' type novels. Or maybe it's the writing style of Beverly Lewis. Whatever it is, I very VERY much enjoyed this book. It went hand in hand perfectly with the lazy days of summer. Even with having the girls home for the summer I was able to escape in the book, and zipped through it quickly! I know that this will be a book that will get passed around my circle of friends.

AND...I absolutely can't wait for the follow-up book, The Bridesmaid, to release this September!

 

 

I HAD to share this endorsement! I LOVE it!

"Author Beverly Lewis has come up with a new magic formula for producing best-selling romance novels: humility, plainness and no sex."
