These are the words of the first person to review the novel, Jesper Lentz Nielsen. For technical reasons I had to post them here for him: "When I first read this I was faced with a dilemma; it's such a page turner that I couldn't read fast enough and yet at the same time I did not want it to finish. You become part of the story and part of the journey and you feel so connected to the characters as their journey unfold. Simply fantastic!" Thanks for the review! Vivienne Tuffnell
As we journey through life, we collect memories. Some of these memories cling to our thoughts with a ferocious tenacity - never allowing us a moment of clear, untainted happiness; and making us scream, “My heart is broken, and I am dying inside!” Each of us has such secret heartaches that we can’t bring ourselves to share with anyone, and that stop us from being as happy as we’d want to be. When I read Vivienne Tuffnell’s “Strangers and Pilgrims,” I felt that I too was there – a pilgrim in the House of Wellspring! I read the book in five sittings. While it was difficult to stop reading; the book took upon itself the task of pulling me back into the story, whenever I had even an hour to spare. If you are trying to get over a pain, small or big, read this book...and even if you have one of the rare, unbreakable hearts, yet you love to read...the moments you spend reading this book will wrap you into a warm and comfortable embrace and rejuvenate you.
