Ambrose Young was beautiful. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.
Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.


Jeg var lidt spændt på, hvad jeg syntes om denne, da jeg lidt frygtede, at den ville være for overfladisk og sødsuppe. Jeg blev heldigvis glædeligt overrasket.
Personerne er velbeskrevne. Man kommer til at kende dem inklusiv deres fejl og mangler. Det er ikke kun en beauty and the beast historie. Der er noget mere substans i den.
