I find something sweet and wholesome about reading an Amish romance novel. The Sound of Distant Thunder by Jan Drexler was a really sweet coming of age story. This novel is set during the time of the civil war and is about a young Amish couple that are in love and ready to start their life together.
I did find the beginning of this story to be a bit slow moving but I think that comes with this being a new story and all of the characters needing to be set up. As this is part of a series, the characters do not get a true end story for their romance. This is left open and I am hoping that this picks up with the next novel.
I really enjoyed the time period of the civil war and reading it from a different perspective than one I had before. This had a lot of great ethical issues to think about surrounding the war. I enjoyed the character of Jonas and felt that he grew quite a bit throughout the story. I also like Katie but feel that she still has more growing to do before she will be able to settle down.
This was a nice story and I would recommend for anyone looking for a wholesome romance.
I received a copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review.
