My Review:
The Perfect Life is a drama involving a woman's crash into the reality of the fallen world. Even more difficult is the fact that she faces the brutal truth that Christianity is not a promise of the sweet life. Her struggle to survive, accept and overcome her rude awakening, winds through the novel and is told through both first person and supporting third-person characters.
The drama unfolds a lot like the story of Job with much inner soul-searching and lamenting on the part of Katherine. Those who avoid novels with a lot of introspection may struggle with the slower moving format of a woman devastated and her plunge into self-preservation.
However, sticking with the story and following the heart-breaking progress from broken dreams to hope is very much worth the trip.
