All Time Favourite: Harvard
Helen “Harvard†Schmitt and Thor Himmel are running on similar paths in life, quite literally, and as fate would have it their paths are about to collide. The unexpected twist forces them to see the path behind them to reveal the path ahead.
Harvard is a story about Helena and how she deals with things once her father dies, causing her to be unexpectedly back at her childhood mountain home far from the original plans she had set out to do. Thor Himmel is a hot college professor, but when tragedy strikes he sets out on his journey whose path leads him directly to the mountain.
Kirsten Pursell tells an extraordinary tale of how two people deal with life's unexpected turns. I really enjoyed how each chapter was either told by “Harvard†or Thor so you got varying insights and perspectives driving the story forward. This book made me think of deep thoughts about fate and how detours in life are sometimes exactly what we need to direct us where we are meant to go.
I would recommend this book for fans of A Tale of Two Cities or Sleepless In Seattle. I think because of the two different perspectives this book would be ideal for a book club with men and women both participating. The theme of letting go and entering unexpected doors of opportunities will stay with you long after the back cover has been closed.
