Phoebe's Light is a moving story about lasting friendships, family legacies, and learning to find the light of God, even when others seek to betray and deceive you. Suzanne's vivid imagery brings the Nantucket world to life, while revealing the gritty side of the early whaling industry and commerce during colonial times.
While this is the first fiction book I have read pertaining to the Quakers, and also the first book I've picked up written by Suzanne Woods Fisher, I honestly had no clue what to expect. I chose it in order to be able to pass it on to my daughter - she loves Amish fiction, so I thought that this might suit her well. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this taste of a simpler time and look forward to reading the next book in the series, as well as other works by the author. I would recommend Phoebe's Light to anyone who enjoys historical fiction pertaining to colonial times or the Quakers. This also seems like a natural stepping stone for those who like Amish fiction, due to the simpler lifestyle and beliefs held within its beautifully moving story. 5/5 stars.
