Fabulous conclusion

Sun, 10 May 2020 | Review by: Kelly H.

“The truth of the matter was this—she, Miss Beatrix Waterbury, had been banished from New York, and all because she’d had the great misfortune of landing herself in jail . . . twice.” - Opening line of “Storing Up Trouble” by Jen Turano As in every Jen Turano’s novel, there is a mix of lightheartedness and seriousness which makes a book both a delight and insightful! In this one, finding one’s self is at the centre. Our leading lady, Beatrix, is passionate, empathetic and intelligent! She is a sharp contrast to our leading man, Norman, who is blind to the needs and feelings of those around him and thoroughly caught up in his work. As they travel to Chicago, their train is set on by thieves and the two escape the danger together. In finding help, Norman finds Beatrix as confusing as she finds him vexing. The experience begins a discovery journey for Norman of coming to see those around him and find his purpose in life. For Beatrix, it’s Chicago which holds the opportunity to be something other than a great American heiress. It allows her to get a job and an understanding of the needs and pains of the working class. Whilst Beatrix and Norman are wonderful characters, it is the supporting cast which I found the most interesting. It is the interaction amongst them that brings the best out of each. The mystery behind who is after Norman’s scientific research drives the story forward. It is full of lovely twists making the reader ponder who is behind it all. To all this, Jen structures it all on Christian principles of love, compassion and kindness. It is elegantly done and not overbearing! “Storing Up Trouble” is a fabulous conclusion to the American Heiresses series, it is a five out of five on the enJOYment scale and highly recommended.
