An Ocean Away edition by Lisa Harris Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
AN OCEAN AWAY is an older title that I had on my to-be-read pile for sometime. I was looking forward as I had enjoyed some of Ms. Harris’ more recent books. The copy I have though, sadly, is deficient. It goes from page 45 to page 165 and so quite a lot of the story is missing. It ruined the book for me. Hopefully the publisher caught and fixed the problem.
Set in 1921, it is when the world is beginning to change. The women’s rights movement was beginning. Skirts were shortening. And Lizzie serves as a nurse in Africa—though she’s rarely allowed to serve as such, due to the natives feeling she’s a curse.
Andrew is nice, determined, and stubborn enough to match Lizzie’s personality. I wondered how he could possibly talk her out of her beloved Africa…
There is a recipe included at the end of the book.
If you like historicals set in exotic locations, you will love this novel set in the wilds of Africa in the 1920s. Lisa Harris did a great job of taking us through Africa and showing us the magnificent sites and danger that lurks there. But there's danger in New York as well for this young spunky missionary. I loved Lizzie, the main character whose parents were missionaries in Africa. She's caught between two worlds and doesn't really feel like she fits in either one. We all can relate to that. I also appreciate her stubbornness about fulfilling the will of God for her life. Her love interest, Andrew, surprised me. I wasn't sure if I liked him at first, but he grew into the man Lizzie wanted.
In 1921 in Northern Rhodesia, Lizzie MacTavis continues to provide the Lord's word to the locals. She is dedicated to God and to people residing along the Zambezi River.
Anthropologist and explorer Andrew Styles is hired to locate Lizzie and escort her back to New York. When he finds her in Southern Africa, he tries to persuade her to come home. She refuses as she feels her work is here. However, Andrew explains back in America, she has a fortune that can help her adopted impoverished people. Thus, Lizzie reluctantly and tearfully leaves even while vowing to return. In New York, Lizzie is unprepared for falling in love with an unbeliever who may be her enemy and with someone trying to kill her in so called civilized America.
This is an intriguing historical thriller starring a caring missionary who feels safer in Rhodesia than she does in the jungle of New York. Lizzie is terrific as she firmly believes God wants her to remain in Africa, but Andrew makes a convincing case she can do more if she goes home; which she counters is Rhodesia. Though An Ocean Away lacks the intensity of the Mission Hope thriller Blood Ransom (few novels do), readers will enjoy this engaging 1920s tale with its message to embrace God rather than running away from the Lord even when a tragedy strikes a loved one.
