Sometimes to find what matters, you have to back up and start again. He's a hotshot financial analyst who has lost it all. She's a brokenhearted world traveler forced to come home and beg for money. His job hangs by a thread. Her dreams of making a difference in Africa are circling the drain. It's a spectacularly bad time for romance, even on the charming stone streets of an English university town. But sparks fly--and danger threatens--when these two wounded souls must work together to solve a mystery and right a wrong. To find what they need, they may need to relearn everything they thought they knew about love.
Just finished reading Full Circle - I had tears streaming down my cheeks at the wonderful ending. God is so good! And Davis Bunn is the kind of writer who draws you in so beautifully that you're in a "can't put it down until you finish" mode before you know it. The characters are real and drawn perfectly. I'd love to have a tutorial with Professor Beachly and sit down for tea with Honor and Kayla. Adam and Peter would be great friends with my husband. This is a must read - and Bunn left it open for a sequel - how masterful!
A Story of Hope and Forgiveness
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
American Adam Wright travels to Oxford, England at the request of his dying mother and a man he's met once. Adam needs a job; the company for which he hopes to work needs a miracle. Kayla Austin returns from Africa, humiliated, with a shattered heart and a shattered dream. This is by no means Bunn's most original or suspenseful novel; but he does a great job with the formula, demonstrating once again his enviable ablility to write different styles. His characters are well-rounded and sympathetic, and his mystery intriguing and credible. Peter, Honor, and others bring meaningful faith to the narrative without preaching. Davis Bunn has lived all over the world, but set this story in his own town of Oxford, making it very natural and rather special. It's a good, fairly quick read with just enough suspense to keep the pages turning. I never doubted the happy ending, but most definitely enjoyed the trip. Keep up the good work, Mr. Bunn!
