I have long loved Francine Rivers. From Redeeming Love to the Voice in the Wind series I have almost literally drooled over her writing and her beautiful stories. She has a way to create such real characters that have a lasting impact on you. The Masterpiece was no exception.
I was so excited when I read on the back of my advanced reading copy that this book was taking her back to her romance roots. Don’t get me wrong, I love when an author branches out, but the large part of my heart that loves Francine Rivers’s writing loves the way she tells romance in the midst of a redemptive thread.
With The Masterpiece we are introduced to a deeply troubled and hurting man—Roman—and then get to watch as his life intersects with a Grace (both the woman and the truth). As only Francine Rivers can do, she waves their story together in perfect harmony. The attraction, the struggles, the difficult decisions, the facing of Truth. All of it comes together in a story that will hold you and not let you go until the end.
