The Photograph

---

Menno was the story's villain, but even that didn't feel right to me. I mean, how could he not care for his three sisters, especially as they were all unmarried, and they all had recently lost their mother. I did like Jed and Eva. Their romance, though to be perfectly honest, there wasn't much of one in the story was sweet. I liked that he came to really know her through the writings on her copy of "Little Women.

He mistakenly thinks the photo is of Eva. Most books by Beverly Lewis are quick reads for me, but this one took me quite a while to finish because the story just didn't seem to go anywhere. It was like spinning wheels. It was a good enough book, but not one of Lewis' best. Sep 15, Deanne Patterson rated it really liked it.

This is another fine example of why I love, Beverly Lewis's Amish books. I've been a fan of her books since her very first book. I am glad I finally got a chance to read The Photograph. I have been waiting months to read this. The Esch sisters are going through heartache when their parents pass away. The farm has been left to their youngest brother, Menno who farms there but doesn't live there. He plans to move his family there saying there won't be enough room for all the sisters. He expects them to marry and move out and start their own families. Heartache is apparent in the family and community when one of the younger sisters,Lily runs away during the night.

She has left a note but hasn't revealed when she has gone. A romance starts between Eva and an Amish buggy maker from Ohio. When he is ready to leave to go back to Ohio as he is saying goodbye a photograph falls from his wallet.

Turns out he had found the photograph on a train and he thinks it's Eva. A very well put together story. I look forward to reading her next book coming out in March called The Atonement. Finally a Beverly Lewis book I could sink my reading teeth into and stay interested in from beginning to end. The Photograph reminded me why I loved reading books by Beverly Lewis. The book centers on the disappearance of Lily Esch. After the death of her parents it seems Lily has lost her way and then she runs away from home without any clues as to where she might have gone.

Her disappearance weighs heavily on Eva, the sister who was the closest to her. While the family tries to find L Finally! While the family tries to find Lily and keep her reputation intact, Eva struggles with why she left. For not only did she lose her sister, but she lost her best friend. Eva meets Jed Stutzman, who is visiting from Ohio, at an auction and the two become friendly with each other until Eva sees the photograph that Jed has.

The photograph that changes everything This is by far the best Beverly Lewis book I have read in years. I was interested in the book from the title, cover, and description. I was not disappointed as this book quickly drew me in and kept me interested from beginning to end. There are a lot of characters in the book and it was a bit hard for me to keep some of the secondary characters straight in my mind.

My favorite characters were Eva and Jed. They were easy to like and relate to and I wanted both to discover happiness after the sadness they had endured. I also liked Naomi and her husband, Abner. I feel like they, along with their son, have a story to be told that could possibly be the next Beverly Lewis book we see. Even though there are characters from The River , a previous Beverly Lewis book, The Photograph is a standalone book that Amish fiction fans will enjoy. If you like Amish fiction with a bit of suspense then this is the book for you!

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review which I have given. View all 3 comments. Jul 29, Betty rated it it was amazing.

THE PHOTOGRAPH

This is a wonderful story of a young Amish woman whose parents have died leaving her and her two sisters in the family home. Her brothers have all married and have their own homes. The youngest brother has actually inherited the family home and has decided to move he and his family back in. He has explained to the sister that they can stay for a while, but there really isn't enough room for them and his family. So they will have to be thinking about what they are going to do.

Being Amish that d This is a wonderful story of a young Amish woman whose parents have died leaving her and her two sisters in the family home. Being Amish that doesn't leave them many options. One sister can remain as a mother's helper for the young family. But the other two should really be thinking about getting married, and soon. Shortly after this meeting, the middle sister turned up missing. She left a note telling her sisters she has decided to go "fancy" and asking them to understand and not look for her.

He has a photograph of a young plain woman and a book with her notes and thought inside. When he meets Eva, the middle sister, he's sure this is the girl. He has half fallen in love with the picture and the thoughts in the book. Other characters fill out the book and the plot has many twists and turns. You heart and mind become quickly engaged making it very hard to put the book down I loved it and highly recommend it.

Their youngest married brother, Menno, and his family may want to take over the family homestead and there is not enough room for all. One of the sisters may stay as long as she helps with his children. After learning this, the youngest sister, Lily, unexpectedly runs away leaving a note, having chosen to leave the Amish to go off with her boyfriend. Not only is Eva dealing with the loss of her sister and parents, but now she's faced with the problem of finding a place to live. On this trip Jed comes across a book that holds a photograph of a beautiful young Amish girl.

Jed is puzzled by the boldness of the woman in the photograph, since Amish people are not allowed to get their picture taken. He's sure he knows who is in the photograph, but appearances can be deceiving. The book has personal notes written in the margins Eva is drawn to this handsome, caring stranger who has come to her community the young woman in the picture he has is certainly NO stranger to her. The love story between Jed and Eva is sweet, but they share sorrows.

As a couple are they really suited for each other? The romance does not play the biggest role, but Lewis does a great job at weaving Eva and Jed's story together. The mystery of the photograph and the connection between individuals and three different locations with the theme of family, community, and most importantly, the bonding of siblings are all the threads that pull this story all together.

Family devotion and the tight knit world of the Amish is once again the key to making this a story that you will want to keep reading to the end.

The description of this novel definitely hooked me, as I found myself wondering what would cause an Amish girl to forsake her community's teaching about photographs being forbidden, and choose to get her picture taken? As I read through this story, I couldn't help but appreciate the intricate knowledge the author appears to have about the Amish and their With an intriguing premise and utterly likeable characters, "The Photograph" is sure to please readers who have enjoyed Lewis' prior offerings.

As I read through this story, I couldn't help but appreciate the intricate knowledge the author appears to have about the Amish and their way of life, including those things that tie the Amish communities together and those things that set each district apart. Such attention to detail lends a wonderful air of authenticity to "The Photograph".

And Eva Esch is truly a loveable character, one who has dealt with such deep heartache in her young life, yet remains true to her faith and to her connection to her family and Amish community. Lewis does a great job at weaving Eva and Jed's story together and theirs is definitely a sweet love story to behold. However, I just didn't find that this story held me in its grip as some of Lewis' other novels have done.

Although there were definitely some page-turning parts, about a third of the way into the story I just found that little seemed to progress in the plot and I was contemplating whether to finish it. I am glad I did, for the last couple of chapters tie up the story nicely and overall the book does provide a pleasant read. I award "The Photograph" a mild recommendation and a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

Those readers who typically love Beverly Lewis novels will surely love connecting with these characters and immersing themselves in the Amish lifestyle. Buddy Read with Carolyn and Tracy recommended to: This is the best Beverly Lewis book I've read in a while. I love the plot. I felt that the dialogue between the characters was so authentic, which is what you'd expect from someone who has Amish heritage. Although this is meant as a stand-alone, I wouls recommend starting with The River, since it references a few of the main characters in that book.

I am looking forward to reading The Atonement soon. Sep 30, Karla rated it really liked it. Eva Esch fears the worse when her sister Lily disappears only a few months after the death of their mother.

Eva is drawn to this handsome, charming stranger who has come to live in her area. The young woman in the picture is certainly NO stranger to Eva!! When a book by Beverly Lewis appears in my mailbox, I automatically assume that it will be a great read and this one was no exception. I was caught up immediately in the life of Eva Esch, a single. She has certainly had her share of heartaches, losing both of her parents at an early age and now trying to keep the farm expenses paid, along with her two sisters. Money is a problem when there is no man to help.

Is marriage an option?? Eva is not sure. The characters are realistic and well developed. I was immediately drawn into Eva's life , easily identifying with her worries, fears and challenges. At times, I just wished that I could give her a big hug and reassure her that all would work out if only she would follow God's plan in her life. Beverly has the talent to endear her characters to you from the first page. They are Plain People attempting to live a simple life while dealing with the tragedies that life just naturally sends our way.

The plot moves smoothly and quickly. There are just enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested.

READERS GUIDE

This book is a quick easy read, but very enjoyable. The setting was one that was easy to picture and it became my home for a brief time.

A wonderful peaceful Amish farming community where the families are close and striving to survive in the midst of trials and normal family upsets. Fans of Beverly Lewis will love this book written in a style that is her's alone. This book was supplied by Bethany House in exchange for a fair and honest review. Nov 29, Becky rated it really liked it Shelves: I think my favorite part was the fact that it was a stand-alone novel, that it actually had an ending and resolution to it.

I have found Lewis to be a frustrating author in the past because she can take up to three books to resolve a story, a romance--which is two books too long, in my opinion! So one of the first things I did before reading it was to check and see if this one would have an ending! Some people might call that cheating, I don't.

Better to know at the start if a book is going to have a non-ending.

So the heroine of The Photograph is Eva Esch. One of her sister runs away from home early in the novel. She's very worried about her, about what will happen to her in the outside world, about the trouble she may find herself in since she's so innocent and trusting. But that isn't her only concern. Other family troubles are going on as well. One of her brothers will be kicking all the unmarried sisters--including Eva--out of the family home. They will either have to all find husbands during this courting season, or, be split apart and go to various relations or friends of relations.

That might be upsetting and stressful under normal circumstances, but, her sister's disappearance puts it in perspective to a certain degree. Someone does start pursuing a courtship with Eva. And he's a stranger from out of town. His name is Jed. And he makes buggies. Can she take a break from worrying long enough to find out if this is true love? Will Jed help her find her sister even though there are so few clues available? As I said, I liked this one.

It is probably one of the best I've read by Beverly Lewis. I really, really liked that both Eva and Jed like to read. The Photograph isn't contemporary Amish fiction or historical Amish fiction, it is that fuzzy in-between of the s. When her sister Lily disappears from their Amish community only a few months after their mother's passing, Eva Esch fears she has been wooed away from the People. Unfortunately, Lily's disappearance isn't the only concern for Eva and their older sister Frona. She and her sisters must relocate when their brother and his family take over the family farmhouse; where will they go?

And will her only choice be to be marry, even though she is not ready? Soon after Lily's disappearance, Jed Stutzmen, an When her sister Lily disappears from their Amish community only a few months after their mother's passing, Eva Esch fears she has been wooed away from the People.

Questions and Topics for Discussion

Soon after Lily's disappearance, Jed Stutzmen, an Amish buggy maker from Ohio, shows up in Eden Valley with a picture of a Plain young woman, wearing Amish clothing, yet staring boldly at the camera. Eva feels drawn to the charming stranger, but the woman in the forbidden photograph turns out to be no stranger after all. While this was an enjoyable story to read, I feel like I've read this same plot and storyline before. A lot of "bonnet books" Amish fiction are like that, especially if you've read as many of them as I have, but coming from the "Queen of Amish Fiction", I expected more from this author.

I felt like this book was written just to "churn out another story" for the publishing company. I won a free advance reader copy of this book from Library Thing. He veers from emotional vertigo to an obsessive need to know what kind of woman his wife really was. Why did she have an affair? Did she have other lovers? Was their whole life together a lie? His search takes him back into his life with Kath, and her absence becomes the most powerful presence in his life, rising up before him, speaking to him, leading him to discoveries that reveal much more — and much more disturbing truths — about himself than about his wife.

Who was she, this beautiful woman who seemed to draw and hold the gaze of everyone who saw her, who seemed carefree and clearly happy, a burst of color and uncontainable energy? She was married to the late Professor Jack Lively, has a daughter, a son and four grandchildren, and lives in Oxfordshire and London. Penelope Lively is the author of many prize-winning novels and short story collections for both adults and children. She has twice been shortlisted for the Booker Prize; once in for her first novel, The Road to Lichfield , and again in for According to Mark.

She later won the Booker Prize for her highly acclaimed novel Moon Tiger. She is a popular writer for children and has won both the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Award. Could you describe the genesis of The Photograph? How did the story and characters come to you? Both were large houses, so that nobody felt constrained to throw things away. As a consequence there were cupboards and drawers and shelves piled high with papers. Going through these, I kept coming across some letter or document that surprised me or conjured up the past in some way.

So that was the initial prompt for The Photograph. After that, it was a question of hunting for the narrative and the characters. I know that I wanted a central figure who was the key to the whole story, but who was not there anymore, and who would be seen entirely through the eyes of others. A woman, definitely — someone compelling. So Kath arose — an exceptionally attractive woman for whom perhaps her looks were a disabling factor. Do the themes of time and memory, the changing relationship between past and present, have an especially deep hold on your imagination?

We cannot do without it, but it can also be a liability. In different ways, this has been the theme of several of my novels — Moon Tiger , Treasures of Time , Passing On — but I keep seeing new ways of exploring it. The Photograph is concerned with the power that the past has to interfere with the present: When Glyn finds the envelope containing the photograph of Kath and Nick, he wonders if Kath had planned this moment.

Is it purely chance that he discovers the photo, or are we meant to feel that he was fated to do so? It seems to me that everything that happens to us is a disconcerting mix of choice and contingency. We make choices but are constantly foiled by happenstance. It is indeed by chance that Glyn comes across the photograph; he might not have done so then, and perhaps not at all. A fateful accident — both that he found it, and that it survived for him to find. A landscape historian seems the perfect profession for Glyn. I think that Glyn is a character who has been waiting to happen to me.

The Photograph is, first and foremost, a character study. The protagonist, a beautiful, whimsical creature with the unfortunate name of Kath, is dead. Many years after her death, her husband, Glyn, fi This is a book you will either love or hate. Many years after her death, her husband, Glyn, finds a photograph that indicates that Kath had been having an affair with her sister's husband. The story revolves around Glyn's obsession with finding out who Kath's lovers have been, but, curiously, not why she has been unfaithful, or even why she died.

The fact that nobody among Kath's friends ever contemplated the reasons behind Kath's tragic death is really the point of the book. The people surrounding Kath were too self-absorbed to notice anyone but themselves, and Lively captures the full extent of their blindness with stunning accuracy. Lively's prose is absolutely exquisite. Every word is placed with the skill of a fine craftsman. For this reason alone, I enjoyed reading The Photograph.

I did find it a stretch that such a self-absorbed man as Glyn could have managed so keen an obsession, especially in his later years. And, ultimately, the reasons for Kath's death did not ring entirely true. But in spite of these flaws, The Photograph was still a very good read. Highly recommended to those who enjoy introspective psychological studies.

Not recommended to those who prefer a gripping plot. Apr 15, Barbara Bryant rated it liked it. Okay, I think Penelope Lively is quite a good writer, based on her reputation and the two books I have read by her. She is British, which makes the surroundings fun and a little different for the reader, and this book is supposed to be, perhaps, her best.

I rambled through the early chapters rather impatiently, enjoying the writing but not really interested, until the characters started to react to the main event--the finding of an old photograph that pictures the now-dead Kath, a married woman a Okay, I think Penelope Lively is quite a good writer, based on her reputation and the two books I have read by her.

I rambled through the early chapters rather impatiently, enjoying the writing but not really interested, until the characters started to react to the main event--the finding of an old photograph that pictures the now-dead Kath, a married woman at the time, having a mildly intimate moment with her own brother-in-law. The various friends and relatives become aware of this and react as people will, with a variety of painful or evasive maneuvers. Kath was the beauty of this group of friends and was always expected to marry well and be happy.

Is it a surprise that all may not be as it seemed? The central chapters of the book are very entertaining, as each character deals with the discovery in various ways. The handling of the story is witty, with wry observations of the character and personality of each person involved. To discover that there is no great truth revealed here that hasn't already been revealed a thousand times elsewhere is a disappointment, although the story is still interesting, told as it is about each character in turn as they react to the photo's import or remember their part in it.

The people are like us, self-absorbed, a little mean, indignant, whiny and in one case, wise. I would recommend it to most people I know, but can't shake a feeling that that there should have been more there. It's hard to read over and over that humans are very unattractive creatures. The discovery of an incriminating photograph that indicates that a deceased wife had had an affair with her brother-in-law sets her husband off to find out more about the affair, about his wife in general, and whether she was really unfaithful to him and, if so, was this the only time.

The consequences of his actions affect the dead woman's sister and her husband, their daughter, and others as Glyn pursues the truth with the persistence of a dog searching for a lost bone. Lively's prose in this n The discovery of an incriminating photograph that indicates that a deceased wife had had an affair with her brother-in-law sets her husband off to find out more about the affair, about his wife in general, and whether she was really unfaithful to him and, if so, was this the only time. Lively's prose in this novel is of her usual brilliance and as the plot goes on the reader follows the husband, Glyn, in his search for the truth.

The reader also learns about Kath's relationships with her sister, her brother-in-law, their daughter, Polly, and her friends. Although we know that Kath has died, nothing about her death is revealed until near the end of the book, and I, for one, was not surprised when how she died is revealed.

I'd recommend this book to readers who enjoy Lively's characterizations, her ability to conceal the facts and allow readers to discover them as they read through the novel. I am most definitely a fan of Lively's and shall read more of her books. Jan 16, Marie cuatt rated it it was ok Recommends it for: Recommended to Marie by: Women In Literature facilitator.

I think the English are really masters of writing characters of omission. In that way, this book is similar to Ishiguro's Remains of the Day. Whereas we learn about Kath through the other characters in the book and the way they saw her and reacted toward her, the Remains of the Day was a masterpiece because we found out about the real story through impressions that were left unsaid.

At its essence, this book is about love and what happens to one who ye I enjoyed Lively's excellent writing style. At its essence, this book is about love and what happens to one who yearns for it and lacks it. Also, it is about being too busy with our day-to-day affairs to really know and understand a person and her needs. And of course, that a single event this photograph can change the way we see a person forever. The book's premise is there has been a discovery of an affair by Glyn of his wife Kath and her brother-in-law Nick.

Glyn is on a mission to see whether or not this was an isolated event or Kath was a serial cheater. He is like this in his work life as well as his personal life. I think this is how he was able to get Kath in the first place because of the intensity of his pursuit of her and the fact that the intensity made Kath an object of desire.

Unfortunately for Kath, Glyn only sees her in this light as an object, trophy wife and nothing more. Glyn also seems to possess a double standard in that he is a serial cheater while expecting his trophy wife to remain faithful to him alone. In short, Glyn is a self-centered asshole. Glyn totally does not know who Kath really was aside from being his trophy wife.

He missed out that Kath wanted kids and was loyal to him just because she was married to him. She is never mean to anyone and seems to be delightful to be around. Her enthusiasm causes her to flit from project to project. I consider her personality to be the paragon of perfection because she is not only beautiful but has amazing presence at the same time is not vain; she is nice to everyone and great with kids because she has an irreverence about her that to someone beautiful is intoxicating. She is also extremely loyal to the one who she married although her needs were not met in terms of love and affection that she yearned for.

I want a little more grounded Kath but I do think her essence to be the best in a mate. At least as a doctor, I will be free to find someone who is like Kath because as a couple we can delegate day-to-day affairs to people we can hire if she is incapable of handling them. Penelope actually is describing my ideal woman. The only reason Kath marries Glyn is she mistakenly thinks Glyn pinpoint concentration on her is due to the fact he loves her.

According to Oliver, she never made an impact in this world aside from the fact that she brightened everyones life just being in contact with her. But, do ENFP's necessarily have to have an impact in order to be worthy of living or can they just accentuate other people's strengths by virtue of living. Also can physical attractiveness really make a person's life better in that they can be nice since people are nice to them just based on their looks. Even though Kath was comfortable with being good looking, she was never vain about it; I think for her, her looks became a curse because that is all everyone ever saw from relationships to job.

That is, no one ever bothered to look into Kath's personality and deeper into her feelings because everyone concentrated on her looks. The sad part is that even Nick considered her just an object of his lust and nothing more. The thing that she wants more than anything is to be loved for who she is not what she looks like. I actually think the reason Kath is so flighty is she is not grounded by someone who loves her so she keeps busy and distracted all the time.

She has a competition with Kath because where once Kath was just this annoying little sister, now she has become this beauty queen that seems to be attracting attention wherever she went. The fact that she was able to get rid of Nick as if she was firing an employee instead of her husband makes her a INTJ. Elaine is the epitome of Martha Stewartish personality in that the only thing she cares about is her job. She does not appreciate people or ideas outside her expertise.

But unfortunately, Nick just saw Kath as every man saw her an object of their lust. It is only Mary and him who truly understood Kath's need for unconditional love. There are a couple of provacative questions that this book asks: Is it as Elaine points out whomever happens to come by when one is particularly lonely or when one is ready or is their actual depth to our choices? And I wonder what happens when one gets married out of convenience instead of love? It seems to me that Elaine and Nick's marriage is one of convenience since they have nothing in common later on in life.

They largely do there own thing and not touch base with one another. Whereas Nick is enthusiastic about new ideas and projects, Elaine prefers to plod along and be realistic in creating her work. It seems to me that Kath and Nick are more in line with each other interest. But what happens when two unsettled ENFP's get together, can such union ever last since more than likely they will be both be interested in ideas and projects than doing dealing with day-to-day issues of daily living.

Polly seems to be wondering about love herself and thankfully she finds the one man that understands her and we assume she understands him. Also in tend Elaine forgives Nick because when we become elderly it is more about companionship rather than being romantically in love and sex. But of course, it would be nice to have all of the above to the person you marry. In the book, this idea takes the form of Glyn seeing Kath in a new light as well as Elaine seeing Nick and Kath in a new light too.

The place where this occurs in the real world with everyday frequency is in the realm of knowledge and especially science. I guess the only place one can enjoy this is if one becomes a professor, writer, publisher, or movie field. But having competition and constantly having to worry about the bottom line can certainly have a negative effect. This is what happens with Kath and Elaine, they polar opposites of each other but they both want the others characteristics. Kath also has this relationship with Mary because Mary Packard is self-sufficient in terms of relationships. Kath wants to be self-sufficient so she does not get hurt but really yearns for soul mate and children with that soul mate.
