The Looking Glass

5 stars, Love finds you anywhere THE LOOKING GLASS (THE LOCKET #2) by Richard Paul Evans A wonderfully detailed novel of the gold rush in Bethel, Utah, with complex characters who live there. Hunter Bell is a disillusioned former pastor whose only desire is to be left alone. Quaye is a severely abused and helpless young Irish woman with no prospects. These two join together and become an unstoppable force. Highly recommend. I read a hardcover, withdrawn library copy, and I love it. #thelookingglass #thelocketseries #historicalfiction #favoritebooks #coverlove #triggerwarning #Ireland #Utah #Pennsylvania #claddaghring #richardpaulevans

A wonderful love story and about the endurance of the human spirit. Be ready to get the kleenex out. You will need it sooner or later.

I read and brought this book a few years ago and I love it now as much as I did back then. It is a very special book that is both spiritual and romantic. It might not have the ending that everyone wanted, but I feel that if the book had ended any other way, it would not have been as good. I cried at the end of the book and once in a while a pick it up and read it again.

This is the first book I have read by Richard Paul Evans and can not wait to get my hands on his other books. You can feel deep down in your heart the agony and then love between Quaye and Hunter as described by R.P.Evans. I would love to see this come out as a movie and plan on buying the audio version of this book!

The Looking Glass is a welcomed addition to the literary works of Richard Paul Evans, a typically touching and emotion filled volume from this wonderful author. I was especially pleased to discover an album of piano music by the same name, The Looking Glass, which I found contributes immensely to one's feelings as the book is read. The music helps the memory and lessons of the book linger, well beyond the hours spent reading.

I loved The Looking Glass. It was a workbook for my soul. Quaye is someone any woman can relate to. She had to go through a lot of difficulties but by the end of the book she had learned how to love and how to be loved. She let go of her fears and saw herself as she truly was.Thank you RIchard Paul Evans for another great novel.
