There arent many places or many emotions that this novel doesnt touch. The Offering is a tangled weave of high and lows but told in such a way that these characters come alive and almost as though you might know them.

Could you imagine carrying another womans child because she cant carry her own? What about finding that this baby might in factbe your own? Is such even plausible? Could you put yourself in the shoes of our heroine? I think more than anything, the novel asks these questions above all others. Could. You. Do. It?

Im not sure I could.

There were such deep emotional lows and not many high, highs. I wasnt sure how I was going to like how the story was going to end. But I have to sayI liked it. And it makes our characters very, very heroic. The story walks through with great detail until you feel one with Amandas circumstances and surroundings. I would have liked that amount of detail in the last third of the book, but can see why it was left out otherwise the book would have been an additional hundred pages.

Overall, I thought it a good story with moments of strong poignancy. Definitely a read for fans (or those who like the genre) of Nicholas Sparks.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
