"Three Against the World by Sarah Stuart is a truly heartwarming tale of two lost souls finding each other, and trying to fathom out a sudden father-daughter relationship. The author has a fantastic ability to create rich, three-dimensional characters and dialogue that is both realistic and suited to the character. The story line flows with the perfect amount of conflict woven throughout. Bridget was a good antagonist and the ending was a complete shock to me, an excellent twist to the story. The scenes throughout were beautifully written and transported me into the world of Richard and Maria. Every one of my senses has been touched. I would definitely read more from this author, especially a sequel to this book." Lesley Jones - Readers' Favorite "This is a good read and the author did a great job on character development and conflict. The conflict starts at the beginning of the narrative when Richard’s life is about to fall apart, and from then on, the reader follows a man in search of himself and meaning. The narrative is realistic and the plot well-handled. The author has the gift of creating vivid images and focusing on the emotional aspects of the story. Some of the descriptions are terrific like the one in the second paragraph: "The nerve… a dog barking loud enough to rouse a corpse, and somebody was calmly helping himself as if he was shopping in a supermarket." The entire narrative is gorgeous and atmospheric, the prose elegant and arresting." Divine Zape - Readers' Favorite
