Ruth's Reflections

“The First Touch of Light” by Ruth Pettis

Filed under: Books I've read — realruth @ 8:08 pm

This story of a woman seeking to uncover her father’s past has many excellent scenes.  1940’s New Zealand is beautifully evoked, and the depictions of war ring with authenticity.  I felt the three separate threads of the story didn’t quite hang together, but it was a worthwhile read.

“In separate times and places they
Sought comfort in a world astray.”
