Thank you SO much for recommending this one, Jan. I think it might make my top ten list this year.

You still know a lot at the end. I was just left wondering about a couple of characters and don’t typically feel that way.

Thank you for helping to convince me to give The Line a try. I love it when a book really takes me by surprise.

It certainly wasn’t tied up in a neat bow at the end, but as you said…the writing. So, so good! I was actually ok with the way it ended. Either “solution” would have seemed anticlimactic to me.
Now I need to read his previous book, Where All Light Tends to Go.

I like Wiley Cash too and they do have a similar style, great suggestion.

Now I feel I might be disappointed without one since I hate not knowing where characters end up

But, can’t remember.

I don’t remember the religious undertones!

Glad you loved it!
