Surprised by Oxford: A Memoir by Carolyn Weber


Every once in a while I read a book that just amazes me.  Surprised by Oxford is one of those books.  I loved everything about this book.  This book was engaging and thought provoking.  Carolyn travels to Oxford University to study for a year.  She brings father issues, has been hurt by men, and is unable to believe in God.  Slowly God reveals himself to her at Oxford.  This is a beautiful love story.  This book is also everything I want a book to be- intelligent, sweet, funny, and charming.  I loved the friends Carolyn met along the way.  I so wanted the noble and well-mannered man she meets at Oxford to be "the one" for her. 

This book has pleasing story that I couldn't stop reading.  Carolyn Weber not only writes superbly, but there is real substance behind her words.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I loved reading about Carolyn's journey and I was pleased with the ending of this book.  I highly recommend Surprised by Oxford.
