The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews was the best book I have read in a long time. I read the book from start to finish in just one day, and I found it very difficult to put down. This book starts with a very common task, removing a dead tree from a home yard, and ended with a great historical story. The author of the book discovered a buried container in his yard containing elements from the German Navy, which set him on a journey to discover where the contents came from.
Throughout a flashback, the story of a German Naval Officer unfolds. He finds himself stranded on a beach in America, and through the kindness of a stranger, he is nursed back to health. Josef (German Officer) and Helen (the woman who finds him on the beach) both face obstacles in their past, and through their new relationship, they are able to overcome these past struggles.
I love any book that deals with history, specifically the time period of World War II, and I was not disappointed with this book. I would recommend it to anyone, even if you are not entirely interested in history. The book also looks deeply at the aspect of forgiveness and the important role it plays in everyone’s life. This book quickly moved to the top of my list of favorite books, and I cannot wait to read more books by the author Andy Andrews.
