She’s a talented author; the way she describes her characters and setting and creates her plots are all intriguing and engrossing. When I picked this book up, I wondered how long it would take me to get through it—it’s a chunker, coming in right around 500 pages! In the end, it only took me four days to read it, even though it came at a fairly hectic time. This was a gripping story. There was a lot to enjoy in this story. I was able to relate to both Marta and Hildemara, and loved following along their life journeys. This could easily have been a fairly boring read: “They did this, then they did that…” but it wasn’t, and I’m so glad! I felt like I was there with the characters, and that was great! I did struggle with some elements of the story. I felt like intimacy in marriage was mentioned way more often than necessary, and while it was generally only vaguely referred to, it was still more than I’m comfortable with. I was also hoping this would have a stronger Christian theme than it had, in the end—neither character seemed to have a living relationship with Jesus, until maybe in the last few chapters. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It deals with some very difficult themes, but it’s a well-written, gripping novel, and I’m looking forward to reading the sequel eventually. Though not her most popular novel, Her Mother's Hope is still compelling and heartfelt. The characters are true to life, the story is dramatic, and the writing is beautiful. This is a long book, but the content is also appropriate for younger readers for whom [b:Redeeming Love|11422|Redeeming Love|Francine Rivers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1550053167l/11422._SX50_.jpg|820210] and other books by this author may not be appropriate. Her Mother's Hope is great for a rainy day or a long car ride, and I would also recommend it to readers of historical fiction, Christian fiction, and/or women's fiction. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Este es el primero de dos libros en una saga que explora las complicadas relaciones entre madres e hijas a través de cuatro generaciones. A finales del siglo XIX, la fogosa Marta deja Suiza decidida a encontrar la vida bajo sus propios términos. Su educador viaje la lleva a través de Europa y Canadá, y finalmente la carga con la compañía de hijos y un esposo en el valle central de California. Las experiencias de Marta la convencen de que sólo los fuertes sobreviven --y ella decide criar hijos fuertes. Hildie, la hija mayor de Marta, tiene el servicio a otros en su corazón, y la inflexible crianza de Marta deja a Hildie hambrienta por el amor de su madre. El llamado de Hildie para ser enfermera le da independencia, además del respeto de su madre. En medio del drama de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Hildie se enamora y empieza su propia familia. Ella quiere que su hija nunca dude de su amor --pero los retos de la vida conspiran en contra de su promesa. Esta saga trata sobre cómo romper los ciclos generacionales dañinos, encaminarse a la reconciliación y restaurar las relaciones más importantes de la vida.This is the first in a two-book saga that explores the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters over four generations. Near the turn of the 20th century, fiery Marta leaves Switzerland determined to find life on her own terms. Her formative journey takes her through Europe, Canada, and finally lands her with children and husband in tow in the central valley of California. Marta's experiences convince her that only the strong survive--and she determines to raise strong children. Hildie, Marta's oldest daughter, has a heart to serve others, and Marta's hardnosed parenting leaves Hildie hungry for the love of her mother. Hildie's calling as a nurse gives her independence, if not the respect of her mother. Each woman is forced to confront her faulty, but well-meaning desire to help her daughter find her God-given place in the world. This saga is about breaking hurtful generational cycles and moving toward reconciling and restoring life's most important relationships. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This book hooked me right from the beginning. The characters were so well-developed. It was really nice to see that the book spanned so many years. Eventually, it switched from Marta's POV to Hildemara's and then back to Marta's. Even by the end of the book, there is still a lot that those two have to work through so I would recommend keeping book two since there is a cliffhanger.
