Once again Kristy Cambron has proven herself to be a stellar writer. She has never failed to pull me out of my present day circumstances and fully immerse me in another time and place. Castle on the Rise is set largely on the Ashford Manor Estate in Ireland in 1798, 1916, and present day. Cambron masterfully weaves together the stories of Maeve Ashford, Lady Isolde Byrne and Laine Forrester. Each lady's story is linked to Ashford Manor, each holds both heartache and victory. Their stories help readers to see that God is not absent in our pain, nor is He indifferent to our questions. Our trust in Him in spite of our pain and questions both pleases Him and brings us peace. While our own stories may not include castles, like these three ladies we do not have to wait for a fairy tale ending before we experience joy. Joy can be found as we walk in faith with God and with those whom He places in our paths through whatever life puts before us.
Cambron's diligent research and personal experience with the setting of this story take us to periods in Ireland's tumultuous history that demonstrate the chasm that existed between Protestants and Catholics and between the English and the Irish. We meet both men and women that are willing to make great sacrifices for what they believe in, willing to dig in and do the hard work of standing up for what they believe is right. Cambron develops characters that readers will hold dear, will root for, and may even cry for. Her dialogue was not only well written, but I found it impossible to read without an Irish brogue playing mentally in my head.
I highly recommend Castle on the Rise and, for those who have not read it, The Lost Castle, the first book in the series. I received a complimentary copy of Castle on the Rise from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
