The Watchmaker's Daughter: The True Story of World War II Heroine Corrie ten Boom

 


The Watchmaker's Daughter was an impulse checkout. I am sort of lost with what to read right now. 

Corrie was an interesting character and since the story is based upon a true person I have no right to say what is or is not true about Corrie's life. I learned new history and viewed World War II from a different point of view.

I wish the writing was smoother and more polished. At times the story read like a text book and at other times like a story that was just warming up with a nice flow before cutting off. In a fiction story I would blame the editor not sure who to blame with a story based on a real person. Maybe that is how Corrie's writing were all over the place.

All in all I was able to read the whole story. I learned new things. I care about Corrie but I would not recommend the story due to the writing.
