Review of KAUTCH min karlek
1 posts
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "KAUTCH min karlek" by Uriel and Carolyn LIMJOCO.]
Philipe and Kathryn are newlyweds who share a beautiful and emotional connection. They are both devoted Catholics and medical practitioners who are experts in what they do. Everything seems to be going well till tragedy strikes.
Kautch min Kärlek by Uriel and Carolyn Limjoco is a detailed account of the ordeal faced by true lovers. During their honeymoon cruise, they are separated after a disaster occurs at sea, and Kathryn is declared missing. Philipe is devastated and lost after the tragic incident and decides to enter the priesthood. His Charisma and medical expertise make him a favorite of the people and help him to ascend the ranks swiftly. Meanwhile, Kathryn is found on the shores of an island with no memory or recollection of her past whatsoever and a child growing in her womb. She decides to make the most of the situation and continue leaving her life despite her fears about the whereabouts of an unknown husband. Can fate reunite the star-crossed lovers before time runs out?
There are some positive aspects to the book. A central theme is the importance of religion and prayer in everyday society. The book also shows appreciation of the detailed art and struggles of the medical profession. I believe the book highlights different faiths and cultures through the use of their foods, festivals, and dressing. It also gives insight into the inner workings of the Catholic church in particular. I noted that there were not a lot of errors to be found in this book, which is proof of professional editing.
The book is written with simple diction, and I commend the writers for maintaining the air of suspense throughout the book. I was keenly guessing different outcomes while I was reading. This book embraces a soulful tone of longing that is enough to move any reader to tears. The connection depicted between the two main characters, Philipe and Kathryn, is incredibly rare, and I admire them for holding onto love, despite the passing of time. The plot did exceptionally well to support the title ‘Kautch, min kärlek,’ which translates to “Kathryn, my love.”
I also found negative aspects in this book. In chapter fifteen, Kathryn is declared dead after five years, but in chapter nineteen, Philipe says it was after three years. Though this is a simple error, it caused some confusion while I was reading the book. I also found the ending of the book cliché and predictable. The book had a good start, and the plot progressed properly, but there was a particular lack of creativity where the ending was concerned. I believe the writers could have approached it from a different perspective and delivered an even better outcome.
However, these negative aspects were not enough to detract from the overall quality of this book. I rate this book three out of four stars. I recommend this book to lovers of Christian fiction. I also recommend it to lovers of romance books and novels.
