“Jill's "I tried to love you" book. Can't get past the first few sentences. Everyone tried to tell her get past the first few pages. She may try.”

“I think I read this in high school or early college. I loved it so much. And I still really do. A really wonderful story about the women in a missionary family in the Belgium Congo in the 1950s. Very complex and interesting plot with awesome character development. ”

“Just couldn't get into it and I don't blame the writing or the story. This story is just too close to home. My mom was your typical Portuguese colonists daughter and so we grew up with stories of her as a child sitting around tribal fires, having bushbabies for pets and so on. This book was just more of the same, it didn't feel original to me and so I didn't finish it”
