An Epic Masterpiece!--The Seamstress by Allison Pittman--Review

 

 

My Review:

 

This book!  I am still thinking about it, its characters and the decisions they made.  That, my friends, is the sign of a well written book (in my opinion). 

“The Seamstress” by Allison Pittman is truly a masterpiece and the story is epic!  Ms. Pittman’s writing is phenomenal.  It is set during the French Revolution, with nods to “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens and “Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo.

 
I love the lessons Ms. Pittman includes on faith and life in general.  She shows through her writing that there are good and bad men—among both the rich and the poor—and all are equal in the eyes of God.  There is a crucial decision that a character must make regarding whether one must be loyal first to God or to one’s country.  I am still thinking about that decision and its implications. 

Bravo, Ms. Pittman for writing such an incredible read that will surely make my “top ten list” for the year!

Content:  This is definitely a more edgy Christian fiction book.  I give it a PG-13 rating.  Some examples of the content are: a man gets drunk a lot; talk of a woman’s figure; mention of alcohol; a woman is called a whore and accused of having too much sex; a man swears, but the word isn’t actually written; there’s a scene leading up to a couple having sex; the word “bastard” is used; a couple that is not married shares the same bed; a man tries to rape a woman; there is gore related to the violence of the Revolution.

Rating: I give this book five stars!

Genre: Christian fiction; Historical; Romance
