Bohemian Gospel by Dana Chamblee CarpenterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you're looking for a book to take you away, this fit the bill for me. It's fantasy, and somewhat dark, but full of adventure and mystery.
Mouse is abandoned as a child, with no knowledge of her mother or father. She is loved and educated in an Abbey by one of the monks, Father Lucas. She is trained to be a healer by a Nun, Mother Kazi. Although Father Lucas and Mother Kazi love her, they are a little afraid of her, and she senses that from them. Mouse has mysterious gifts, like hearing things long before anyone else hears them, and her body heals itself very quickly. Mouse doesn't know if these are good or evil things.
One day, a young king is injured and Mouse is instrumental in his healing. From that day forward, their lives are intertwined. Their journey leads to love, sadness and sacrifice. There are adventures, and there are questions. When Mouse learns the answers, will she be happy?
The ending was a little flat for me, but I would still highly recommend this read.
