This is the second in the series following Two Crosses. They were both great books, and I cannot wait
until the third one comes out, so that I can find out how the story ends. I am definitely going to pick up other Musses
novels.

Two Testaments: A
Novel by Elizabeth Musser
Gabriella and David are still in France, working to save as
many orphans as possible while coming to grips with their discovery of David’s
daughter. Gabriella goes to class and
works at the orphanage, while David teaches classes until David goes to Algeria
to bring back his former lover, the mother of his child. As more orphans come to the orphanage, the
town turns against it out of racism and the parents of the students in the
exchange program begin to grumble. David
and Gabriella’s love is tested as they continue their efforts to save children
from the Algerian war and an evil Algerian seeking retribution. Gabriella takes a larger role at the
orphanage and David goes to Algeria to help Anne-Marie get to France, but he
stays behind to help Mustapha.
As with the first book, I loved Two Testaments. Musser does an excellent job with all the
characters, but especially Mother Griolet as she deals with the racism of the
town, overcrowding, and her successor.
The story is interesting, exciting, and heart rending. This is definitely one of the best I have
read this year. I would recommend it to anyone
enjoying history, romance, and suspense.
