[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "A conflict of conscience" by James G. Skinner.]
Will a guilty conscience equate the waves of weakness in humans? A Conflict of Conscience by James G. Skinner is a memoir of Jennifer Robertson. Her parents, John and Cynthia Robertson, were devoted Roman Catholic family. She went to Cambridge University to study teacher training. She had a degree and got a job as a teacher in an international school in Iran.
In Iran, she fell in love with Juan Miguel Ochoa, a bilingual Spaniard diplomat, and got married. They were without a child, and barely 25-years after their marriage, Juan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He was retired and confined to the private geriatric residence. Jennifer became depressed, and when she met Ramon Nogueira, a residence social adviser, they started going out. Gradually, they began satisfying each other's sexual desires, but Jennifer was always feeling guilty after each sexual activity. She needed peace and affection, but what will be the fate of Juan? Does the self-guilt make her marriage with Juan better? These answers make A Conflict of Conscience an exciting book.
I love the way the author develops each character and narrates a captivating storyline. I admire how Jennifer Robertson managed to balance her marriage and courage in assisting Juan in fighting terrorism. Also, I enjoy as the storyline went from an exhilarating action-filled start to a satisfying conclusion. I appreciate the way democracy was portrayed in the book with distinct lessons to share with the readers. For example, this book showed where immunity ends in politics, mode of operation, and the chameleonic activities of terror groups.
Furthermore, the light shed on the effort of the intelligence groups in curbing religious radicalism, and abuse of power is commendable. Moreover, the terrorists' methodology of sponsorship was carefully exposed; this makes the book a fascinating one. I was so captivated with the storyline that when Juan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, I was sad. It is just a captivating storyline.
I had no issues with the storyline and plot of the book. It was written appealingly and attractively for readers' enjoyment. However, it contains some errors, which shows the writing was poorly edited. Although, with a bit of polishing, the book has the potential to be a flawless one.
Therefore, I rate the book 2 out of 4 stars. I recommend the book to young adults and policy-makers in the quest to ending terrorism in the world. Readers who appreciate novels with storylines involving politics, romance, and religion will love this book.
