Faith Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I wish I could give this book 3.5 stars. Once again, Haigh's writing is beautiful, and many of the characters are fully realized. The story is also suspenseful, which came as a surprise. Some of the plot points, however, seemed a bit too convenient. On the whole I preferred Haigh's "Mrs. Kimble." "

" not the most uplifting subject matter, but a good read & an interesting perspective on the subject matter "

" Nicely written, Catholic family drama. Don't know if I believed the turn of events, but the characters were believable so it remains an enjoyable read. "

" I absolute loved this book. So much to think/ talk about. Great character development. A bit slow at the beginning but definitely worth sticking it out. "

" couldn't finish, got 1/3 the way into it, too much detail in characters and couldn't get into the story, discovered i didn't really want to get into a story about an accused child molester! "

" Listened to on a Playaway. "

" Can't say this was as good as her other books, interesting, very in depth, very sad "

" This book was written from the perspective of the acccused Priestt's sister. I loved the family perspective and how it portrayed how family history affects our lives. Great read! "

" Couldn't put this one down. The characters are extremely well-drawn; I came to care for each of the main characters in different ways. Very well-written, with foreshadowing that I appreciated and yet suspenseful in a way that I didn't expect. "

" Sexual molestation of children within the catholic church; the whole episode within the church is so disturbing; is it not nearly impossible to write of it unless you were a molester yourself? A Catholic priest who molested children? "

" I'd like my sisters-in-law to read this book and tell me what they think. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could. "

" have been indoors a lot lately, thus speeding through some good books. Faith, kept me gripped to the pages, a good story "

" Not sure what I thought. Definitely suspenseful and a page-turner. Thought-provoking in the depiction of how others judge a person based solely on unsubstantiated accusation. Was her indictment of the Catholic Church completely unbiased? "

" I would recommend this book to anyone - but especially my catholic friends! "

" The local references were cool but also stressed me out given the subject matter. More soon. "

" I think Jennifer Haigh does an excellent job of telling a story from different people's perspectives. Getting Sheila, Mike, and even Art's story in regards to Kath certainly made this book riveting. Definitely an interesting tale of doubt and faith. "

" Our most universal human failing is that we fail to appreciate the impact our actions and judgments have on one another. "

" You can read my thoughts here. (2.25) "

" Not very engaging or warmth for a story about family and failing but somehow, the story is compelling and I read on. "

" A priest is accused of child molestation, and his sister reveals the family's dysfunctional history. Obtrusive narrative voice. Depressing story, though well-crafted. "

" Different perspective on tragic events. "

" I highly recommend this insightful novel. Haigh has brought to life fully developed flawed but sympathetic characters, and employs a plot that is unpredictable, yet makes perfect sense given the psychology of the characters she has created. "

" I was curious how the author would handle the delicate subject of abuse by the clergy. She succeeded in delivering a powerful story that would be perfect for book clubs. There is a great deal to discuss between the storyline and the characters. "

" This book was suggested by a friend. What a suggestion!! The story takes place in Boston's archdiociese and an issue with one of their priests and how it impacts the church, the community, his family and the priest himself. Really a good read - enjoy. "

" Jennifer Haigh has done it again. She has told a sad, beautiful story that's impossible to put down. The family story is very interesting, and the headline-grabbing part holds many surprises. "
