Title: THE RAPTURE OF CANAAN
Review: I found this book to be a page turner. The author gives a chilling account of life under oppressive patriarchal rule in a small religious community in the South. The characters were richly developed and complex. The writing was beautiful, crisp and direct. The opening paragraphs read like pure poetry. The story features the life of, Ninah, a girl coming of age in this strict, often bizarre fundamentalist sect. Her story unfolds in a tantalizing sometimes tragic way. However, she uses her inner strength to triumph in the only way she knows how. I highly recommend this interesting and thought provoking book.
