Louise Redd's second novel is a wise and witty tale of a tragic relationship between a passionate and clever young woman and her all-too-human spouse. For anyone who has ever loved against all logic, this novel touches deeply. I loved the racy heroine of her first novel, Playing the Bones, and in Faith she has again created a vivid character of great depth and humor. Faith embodies the mixed emotions of those old enough to know better who nevertheless can't help themselves from loving against the odds. Redd has an incomparable ear for language, and her voice sings clear and true. A must read!
