*Requirements for Enjoyment*

#1 One must love "quiet" books - those where nothing terribly big and exciting happens - the type of books that concentrate more on the day to day happenings in the life of....... in this case the life of a young Mormon couple living in Wyoming at the turn of the 20th century. It is enjoyable, interesting and in some ways cozy and comforting, it just isn't exciting at all.

#2: One must have a passable understanding of Mormon culture and way of life. Much of the overt Mormon dialogue from Enduring Light's predecessor, Borrowed Light, is toned down and becomes (quite nicely) just part of the overall conversation of the book. It doesn't preach, it just shows. A working knowledge of terms is encouraged, however.

#3: One must enjoy reading books about life on a ranch during the early 1900s. This story deals extensively in this area. From the day to day tedium and isolation to the annual round-ups and cut-throat competition that existed in an era before civilization was fully established.

#4: One must love a slow burning, deeply loving but clean reading romance.

#5: Kelly's previous book, Borrowed Light is an almost mandatory pre-requisite. All subject matter has it's origins in that story.

If these requirements are met, then this book is an absolutely perfect read! For me, the slow moving pace of the book was a trial. The romance, however, was a shining standout. Julia and Paul's love had already been established in Kelly's previous book so we follow the couple from engagement through the first year of marriage. Through all the trials and hardships, their love is one every reader dreams of!
