I like how the past lives of the two main characters were intricately interwoven into the main plot. The Masterpiece is a beautiful and well-researched story. There are several other lessons that can be taken out of the book including dealing with disappointments, learning to walk away from the people you love for God/the Holy Spirit to work on them, childhood trauma, among others. How do you know whether you are giving the ghosts and shadows from your pasts too much space in your life? This book provides the reader with some insight into this subject.
This raises the issue of the amount of power we give to past events/experiences and its influences. For instance, the two main characters both had disturbing pasts but were influenced differently by them. 🙈🙈🙈😏😏😏Īnyway, Francine Rivers always has strong underlying themes in her stories and even though they are entertaining and could be full of suspense, they teach loads of lessons.
You can say I fell in love with the character. I actually found him very masculine and charming and wouldn’t mind meeting him if he was real. Even in his ‘raw state,’ I could sense some innocence in his actions. He was affected by experiences from his childhood and that defined who he became as an adult. 😂Īfter reading several of Francine Rivers’ books – And the Shofar Blew, The Atonement Child and Scarlet Thread, I’ll definitely vote Velasco as my favourite character. Did she come back? If yes, how did it happen? That is why you need to read this book for yourself. Hell broke loose when Velasco finally proposed in the manner that he was familiar with but sending Grace packing out of his life in the process. Their story gently develops into a simmering romance which none of them was willing to admit to until later in the story.
The two main characters – Roman Velasco (aka the Bird) was the rich, handsome, famous and accomplished (in the eyes of everyone) artist and Grace Moore – the rather simple, mother of one and a divorcee, who came to seek employment as Velasco’s assistant. Uh-huh! That shows how gripping the story line was.Īs usual, Francine Rivers did not disappoint with this novel. With a more busy schedule currently, I wondered when and how I was going to read the almost 500-page Christian romance novel but surprisingly, I took two days to read the entire book. The Masterpiece was the huge book I got for myself last Christmas.
