Author Liz Curtis Higgs is the latest in my list of reviews. You will probably recognize this popular author from her best-selling story Thorn in My Heart
When I was asked to review her newest book Here Burns My Candle: A Novel about Ruth and Naomi – I didn’t hesitate. Once again a Scottish historical novel that introduces you to characters who loosing follow Ruth 1: 1-18. Obviously with 454 pages in this book, there is a lot of embellishment.
As I have stated before, I love books and Adventure in Odyssey Series 
Momma C’s Thoughts: Although I love the storyline, I found myself pushing through sections as they were a little wordy for me. Of course this very well could be that my time is limited to read and so I value it greatly. I also struggled a little at the beginning with the history surround the Scottish plot but soon had it figured out in my mind. Also understand that this is not an easy-read as there are approx 130 Scottish words used throughout the book. The words are written in italics and a dictionary is provided in the back. Thankfully, many are easily understood though. Accented dialect is also written in conversation so be prepared to read through this. I don’t say this to scare you off because this is a really good book. But…be prepared coming into it.
