Two Testaments: A Novel

by Elizabeth Musser Narrated by Kirsten Potter

Overview

Love for war's victims keeps them apart. Will love for each other see them through? The slightest spark will ignite an explosion. And the tinderbox of broken political and racial relations in 1960s France and Algeria provides plenty of kindling. In the midst of the chaos, Gabriella Madison guards the orphans in her care while battling jealousy with Anne-Marie Duchemin, David's former flame who has recently arrived in Castelnau, France. Even more problems arise when the townspeople start expressing their discomfort with the multicultural orphanage. They want it shut down ... permanently. Meanwhile, David is trapped on the other side of the Mediterranean, caught in the turmoil of a country gone mad. He seeks a way to guard his life and, at the same time, protect the refugees he came to help. But even if he accomplishes his mission, can he get out of Algeria alive?

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

In 1962, Algeria's war of independence leads to great danger for its French inhabitants. Anne-Marie Duchemin flees to southern France, leaving her boyfriend behind in the war-torn country. While working in an orphanage, she meets Gabriella Madison, an American exchange student. Gabriella is in love with one of her former teachers, David Hoffman, who is still trapped in Algeria. Even though David is also the father of Anne-Marie's illegitimate daughter, the two women become close friends, drawn together by their strong beliefs in God. Although the unique setting makes this an enjoyable read, the book is very much one of a series (Two Crosses, Chariot Victor, 1996). Readers who haven't read the first book may find this one difficult to follow at times. Libraries may wish to purchase accordingly.
