The best part of this truly moving story is the true aspects of the story seem almost like miracles, or at least "God things". The circumstances leading to the couple being reunited all happen in such a "coincidental" manner than you wouldn't believe the story possible if the author wasn't just writing a story around true events. The story itself is very faith-affirming, showing that occasionally really good things happen to really good people, and also that others who are not so nice can sometimes grow and learn to be better and more godly people.
I'd recommend this novel to men and women both. It's a seafaring adventure, which should appeal to male readers, but the love story that provides the backbone of the adventure should also appeal to women. (Sounds like a stereotypical review, which I don't intend, but my point is that the traditional male/female tastes are covered for all readers.)
It's very much a Christian novel, and one I hope many Christians and non-believers read. I'll have to read Walsh's other three novels at some point too.
