Review of Honouring James by sindbad Author Icon

This is a truly beautiful story told with great simplicity and honesty. There is no drama inserted nor overmuch made of small details - it deals with the story step by step, event by event, until it arrives at a wondrous conclusion. The reader is carried through it all with the narrator, feeling what he felt and seeing what he saw. Your style is perfect for this kind of tale - the bare facts do not need to be prettied by extravagant language or grand gestures.

The tale is that rare thing - an account of good in this world that lifts us and gives us hope. There's something special in being the bearer of such good news and you carry this most effectively. It is only because the writing is so well suited to its subject that I must point to a minor thing in the title that might cause a distraction to some readers. You've spelt "honour" the British way, with a U. That doesn't bother me, of course, but it does jar slightly with our idea of a piano teacher from Iowa. Let's keep your countrymen happy by spelling it "honor." *Wink*

Other than that, it's perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for brightening my day.
