Here is the book summary:
A Timeless, Beautiful Allegory
of the Biblical Love Story of Ruth and Boaz
The Great Rebellion of 1857 was a remarkably bloody business. At a time when Britain’s imperial influence in India was sparking brutal clashes on both sides, no one could have expected Rena, an Indian woman, to marry a British officer—nor do they understand her decision to follow her mother-in-law to England after her husband’s tragic death.
Once the two widows are in Abbotsville, the stern yet compassionate Lord Barric attempts to help them despite his better judgment. Soon he is torn between the demands of reputation and his increasing desire to capture Rena’s heart for his own.

And now, my review:
Shadow Among Sheaves by Naomi Stephens is a book I’m really thankful to have read. I thought the devotion of the daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law in this historical late 1800s retelling of the book of Ruth was a very compelling plot. The strife between countries and the intermarriage is unfolded in a great weave pattern. There's loss, frustration, romance, hope, suspense, people you enjoy the character of and people you frankly don't enjoy at all, and a future all rolled together in one.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
