A modern version of the age old story of Ruth portrayed against the background of Las Vegas and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania's Amish and Mennonite communities. The book features many very likable characters and manages to wield the charm of a rural lifestyle by pure descriptions- I could form clear pictures in my mind as to the countryside, buildings and people.
I would have never bought the book in a shop,. but I guess that's one of the advantages of belonging to a book club - you get to read books that surprise you quite often.
Well written is is really worth the read.
Cat's opinion: a solid 7and a half/10
