A rare find in a sea of mediocre modern novels

A Distant Prospect is “a rare find in a sea of mediocre modern novels” according to Jacinta Woodnutt, writing at Restless Press.

“I couldn’t put it down for days,” she writes, echoing the most common sentiment expressed in reader reviews.

A Distant Prospect “conveys truth, goodness and beauty; but it does not bore the reader with sermonising or goody two shoes perfect characters.”

Jacinta – a liberal arts graduate of Sydney’s Campion College and now a mother of three based in Hastings, New Zealand – was especially moved by the way Annette Young’s story “deals with the question of suffering in a profound way,” and some “beautiful moments where characters learn to hope, forgive and love.”
