Why read it?
1 author picked Once I Knew as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Once I Knew is a stirring and adventurous story of a peasant girl who courageously rescues an enemy soldier only to have her entire life torn apart. The fantasy world is interwoven with danger, and I enjoyed the exciting read that shone with hope applicable to our own world today. It addresses hard issues for mature readers and doesn’t shy away from diving into truth and showing that because of that truth, life has a huge and beautiful purpose and hope.
From Hosanna's list on The best non-magical fantasy novels for truth seekers.
