If you are not a fan of the slow burn, I would recommend sitting this one out. She seems to follow a formula with her books, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. this is a SLOW burn, which I have come to expect from Zapata, of which she is the Queen. Unfortunately, I don't think that can be said about this book. When a book clocks in at over 550pgs, those pages should be worth it. I'd dare to say the first 50% could have been cut in half. this book was about 200 pages too long. And can we talk about the salt and pepper hair for a minute?! *swooning* I kept picturing Josh Duhamel from The Lost Husband movie. He was quiet and broody, but also so sweet and protective. Here are some of my brief thoughts on this slow burn tome… ![]() I did really enjoy this one, but it was l o n g. ![]() I have only read one book by Mariana Zapata, but I was very eager to pick up ALL RHODES LEAD HERE after seeing so many rave reviews. ![]() ![]() ![]() Men who showed great trustworthiness would be permitted to work outside the compound.

But it speaks much more deeply about time, memory and meaning. Little Gidding speaks, if you must, to both Leavers and Remainers, depending on how one reads it. Fire serves as a symbol of the blitz (“The dove descending breaks the air/ With flame of incandescent terror”) and as an echo of Dante’s exploration of purgation and renewal.

It’s a work rooted in Englishness (written in London at the height of the blitz, and in part a reflection on “now and in England”), yet also deeply attached to wider European traditions, from Dante (“The first-met stranger Whom I had known, forgotten, half recalled”) to Greek tragedy. ![]() ![]() Scientists can speculate on the rest.” If you want, you can even speculate that “man” is only 10,000 years old and still reconcile yourself to evolution. President Hinkley said “What the church requires is only belief that Adam was the first man of what we would call the human race. So for those who might be struggling still, I want to say that you are not alone.įortunately, I have finally been able to reconcile my religion with science, and Steven Peck has helped me tremendously in this regard (Read his book “Evolving Faith”. ![]() I understand the pain of those struggling to reconcile their religion with evolution, as I went through a 30-year struggle myself.
