I read this one in January and loved it. Four stars, only because there was a little foul language. Not enough to keep me from loving and recommending the book. It just bothers me when a book is listed as Christian Fiction and has any foul language at all. I guess I’ve jumped right in to my old lady, curmudgeon era! lolIt is a great read, and makes one want to strive to be a better person.
I’m anxiously awaiting the discussion here.
I am listening to this on Audible at the moment, a couple of chapters in.
Lynnette, I'm right there with you on not liking foul language in CF.
One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why…
His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers.
Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their “rightful owners.” With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.
A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another.
Who's joining in for the discussion?
