The Crooked Path is a great read. I found the story to be well written. I was captivated from page one and did not want to put it down until I read the last page. The author perfectly knows how to play with the reader's emotions. I felt like I was right there and was transported back in time. I would most definitely recommend this book. It is so so good. One of the best I have read in 2017.

Five stars.

I was previously unfamiliar with Irma Joubert's work. When I read the synopsis of 'The Crooked Path' however, I knew that I had to get my hands on this book. It just sounded so intriguing.

I was utterly captivated with this story from the second I snuggled in to read. The writing was superb, descriptive and strong. The character development was spot-on and grew the further I delved into the story. Perhaps my favorite part was the journey. Many books make the destination the end-game, the theme of the story. 'The Crooked Path' however, gifts the reader with the path, the travels, the lessons, the wanderings. For this reason, I read in bliss from beginning to end and was saddened when I turned the last page. A simply wonderful story. I will most definitely be reading more from this author.
