Captivating

Silent Heart is a captivating novel. Through the development of a growing love between the two main characters, Youree illustrates the great hardships of families who lived in 17th century Italy. The story of Stefano and Francoise plays out dramatically in the midst of precarious family situations and fears from past tragedies. I was especially intrigued at how well issues such as the role of women in society at that time, family responsibilities, and true Christian charity were described through the dialogue, setting, and characters of this beautifully written romance. The story of love, perseverance, and faith in God held my interest from the first page to the last. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the Renaissance Brides series.
