This must be the second or third book in a series. I read it first, but it was written is such a way that it did not seem to matter. I enjoyed Higgs writting style. This is also the first time that I have read any of her books - highly recommended by other blog readers.
Higgs did a good job of chronicling the time period of the church and what was happening during that time. It was a very strict time period when the punishment was public and severe. I can see how this would deter people from sinning or at least getting found out.
This book seems to follow the storyline of Jacob with Leah and Rachel. The main character was tricked into marrying the "ugly" daughter. He felt betrayed, yet fell in love with her despite the trickery. In the end, her loved her more than he could have possibly have imagined her could. Because of a recording error of the church, everything that the deceitful father had planned fell apart. I was intrigued by the twist and it kept me interested. I would recommend this book.
