This is one of the best stories I have ever read. Not being much of a history buff, I learned a lot reading this. It's the history of why we have church bells. It was great. I loved it.
A good quick read. Suspensful story.
This book caught my full attention in the first couple pages and held my interest until finished.
Staged in England with historical ties, I now find myself wanting to research the town the book was suppose to take place in and learn more.
The Book of Hours has a hero, a mystery and love all wrapped up into one great story.

I loved this book. My rating is a full 4 stars not 3 1/2. Anyway, the power of prayer, the process of healing from the loss of a loved one, and a little history added make this a wonderful read. I am not putting it on my bookshelf because I want to read it a few more times. The characters could have had more depth, but I not holding it against this book too much.
I didn't think I was going to like the book at the begining, but it turned out to be very interesting. Kept me very interested. A man inherits an old castle in England from his wife's aunt. At first he's not interested in it. It took him 2 years to go see the house after his wife's death.A series of hidden messages keep him and others looking to solve the mysteries.
