Excerpt from the Book:
Sully tore a rag into strips and wrapped each coin before tucking it into the bib pocket of his overalls. Wouldn't do to jingle as he made his way out of Kline after the sun went down. Was it his fault this place hadn't had a good rain since Noah started rounding up all the animals two by two? It'd take a miracle to find water around here.
My Thoughts:
The Finder of Forgotten Things is both a beautiful and sad story. But it is not a novel that I would usually read, so it worked for me only in an audiobook form. My rating is lower because this is not a novel in my style, and I think it was too slow for me for the same reason. If you like Christian historical fiction set in America in the 1930s, please consider this book because you could like it.
Sully Harris is on the run because he promised the people of Kline, West Virginia, he would find water. After he failed, he took off with their money. Jeremiah Weber is after him. Their story link with the story of Gainey Floyd, who wants to help workers of the Hawks Nest Tunnel that are getting sick.
The first quarter of the book was very slow. Therefore, it was quite difficult to follow. It doesn’t get a lot faster from there on either. Overall, the story quite dragged for me. But in the end, I found it to be a good story.
The narrator, Pilar Witherspoon, was very good. Although, I had some trouble adjusting to her narration in the beginning. But later, her voice, accent, and tone felt good for this novel.
